Oliver loves to draw...

Oliver is very artistic and loves to draw. Unfortunately there's really not a good place for him to do it because the only real chair we have for him is the high chair. He usually draws while I mess around on the computer so he'd be in the kitchen and I'd be in the office and that just wouldn't work.
This looks really akward and I have no idea why he drew for so very long if he had to stand like this to do it. He did, though. We got quite a few pictures.

He's always very intent when he's drawing, too. Look at that face! This time he was using a pen but usually I give him some crayons...the big chunky kind. He's getting pretty good at knowing some colors, although he still mixes up blue and green.


Last night Bob put this desk back together for him. The neighbor was going to throw it away a while back and we asked if we could have it. Bob painted the top of the desk with whiteboard paint but it didn't turn out very well. I'm not sure why but it's all bumpy. Anyway, Oliver really likes it. He keeps going in there and sitting at the desk asking for Crayons.

He even figured out where to put the crayons so they don't roll off the desk. What a smart boy!

He's also started bringing all his books to the desk so he can read them properly. Go figure! I think he likes having his own place. It's super cute!

oh, I love the desk. That is a great idea since Vlad loves to color and read as well. Oliver is such a little man! Can you believe how fast they grow in just two years??!!
