While spending the day with her family last week, I was able to snap a few shots of Campbell as she was doing one of her favorite activities. Coloring.
She was so intense. It got me to thinking…
I still LOVE to color. In fact, I encourage my boys to color ALL THE TIME, but they get bored so easily. They’d rather be playing cars or chasing the dogs around the yard…something active. It’s funny, because I hardly ever get to finish a picture. AND THAT, drives me NUTS!
But, little Campbell here was focused. There was no distracting her.

After coloring for a few moments, she’d stop, sit back, and admire her work. Then she’d contemplate the next color.
I could have watched her for hours. It really was funny.
Once she realized we were watching her, she wanted us to participate. Since I had the camera, her daddy got to help out.
Yay for dads that will color with their daughters!
Take a look at him, though. He’s pretty intense, too. I wonder if that’s where Campbell gets it? Heh…heh..
Check out her awesome crayons! Perfect for fingers her size. AND, she was an expert crayon picker, too! Everything coordinated!
Finally, after what seemed like FOREVER, she decided she’d had enough and moved on to showing me Thomas.
Maybe sometime soon she’ll let me come over and color with her again. I’d bring the boys with me, but I’m afraid they’d run around, stepping on all our crayons…
nobody likes broken crayons…
