An Artist In The Making…
Well they say, “Start them young!” Grammie went out and bought Little Man a giant coloring book and waterproof markers…yikes!
I found this delightful HUGE coloring book with stickers at Costco…have I ever told you how much I love this store?
It was a little tricky to fit this coloring book in my suitcase for the airplane trip to Texas.
Papa’s reaction to this purchase was, “Do you think it is big enough?” LOL…
My reaction, “Well we have an artist in the making…they do things BIG in Texas.” Smile!
Look at his toes are curled up…sigh.
Grammie…this is SO fun!!!!
“Little Man”…you have to push REAL hard to get the cap back on!
We are taking this coloring business…serious!
As you can see…the markers are starting to show up elsewhere besides the coloring book…
Our little artist is on his way hopefully to a creative path somewhere in his life.
Here’s to Grammie…having a little influence down the road!
Do you remember anyone in your life, who impacted your creativeness?
Have a great weekend.

There is nothing sweeter than watching little ones find the joy in creativity. I just love the expressions on his face.
How adorable. I love it when kids first start to discover art and just play.
That joy and focus on his face !
Just Gorgeous .
Who can resist that sweet face!
What a great gift. Looks like he’s about as good as my daughter when it comes to coloring in between the lines! 🙂
He sure is with Great self-confidence. Bright future ahead! Congrats on your nomination for The Good Neighbor Award! Blessings, Mtetar
I don’t think he stayed in the lines. lol
We love those little markers. They are perfect for little hands. He is adorable!
You need to tell papa that “EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas” :). Love that first shot!
Oh my god I love him! Those eyes are to die for! And yes encourage him. If he has your talent he will be successful! 🙂
So glad we are neighbors! Congratulations on your Good Neighbor Nomination and enjoy the first week of Autumn.
Laurie, your grandson is as adorable as ever. He looks like a natural artist the way he holds the pens. I have my mom to thank for encouraging creativity by her example of just do it;even now she is willing to try new art ideas.

Oh, you are so right – he has all the gestures of an artist already, including the facial expressions 🙂
Oh, the intense concentration on that sweet little face! Such precious photos, Laurie. 🙂
He’s the next Matisse! So cute!
so lovely 🙂
Awwwww Laurie! He is just so adorable and I can see he truly enjoyed the beautiful gift his grammy bought him. Stunning shots once again and thanks for sharing hon. 😀 *big hugs*
Hermosísimo, ha crecido! 🙂
This was wonderful, his toes shows his intensity – great gift gammy!
Wonderful images.
What a cutie! Such a sweet, innocent time!
Fun, fun, fun. Cant wait until you buy him finger paints . . . then paint by numbers, then his own easel and oils.
He is so darn cute. I LOVE these photos of your little man..
Hugs~
I want a large coloring book!! Adorable photos, Laurie!
Yes, here’s to Grammie! I never get tired of seeing pics of you Little Man. He is so lucky to have you in his life to love him so much and foster his growth and creativity. I only wish all children had such good fortune.
He looks SO happy. Foster his creativity — that’s what Grandmas can do and do well. I love how he colors himself as he goes along. So cute!
I am surprised how into it he is! He is young for coloring! Go Grandma, support the arts!!!

How wonderful these are, Laurie!
Wishing you a fantastic weekend.
I’m thinking his next big piece of artwork will be done with his talented toes. 🙂
Love the little man’s facial expression! I can tell he was so focusd from your photos.
So sweet,.. He’s growing up! Those small toes and feet are adorable – Thank you for sharing these lovely Pictures, Laurie!
Happy weekend to you!
Nina
Fun – I want to color too! 🙂
He certainly looks focussed! The fingers are starting to look colourful too. Fun at bathtime 🙂
So cute. Start them young!
Cuteness to the max ! I remember colouring for hours as a kid. It was probably a good way for parents to have some quiet time when there was so little television on the air and it’s been winter for 3 months, LOL. My Dad used to draw something for me to colour in. He was actually a really good artist and my brother has inherited that for sure. He’s really artistic. I wish I had some of those drawings. There’s a PS edit that you can take a photo and change it into a pencil drawing, that’d be cool for kids to colour in their own photo’s now. Times are changing, like the markers -vs- little wax crayons. Yet some things, like colouring, will always be fun.
Wonderful photos. He is adorable.
What a great coloring book! I love Costco too. 🙂
have a great weekend Laurie!!!, little man is quite the Artist 🙂
It’s so important to encourage our little ones in all aspects of life…definitely art being one of them. Can’t wait to see his paintings hanging in the Art Institute!! And what a good grammie you are.
Wow! Look like a talented artist. And very cute too 🙂
Children are never too young to encourage creativity, which you have obviously done. The very best is the third image (on the right) where he is not sure that he is suppose to be doing what he is. They sheepish look is priceless. I also smiled as I noticed the shots where he has swiped himself with tinges of colors. Memorable indeed. Have a joyful weekend.
I hear the joy in your words as you write about this adorable grandson…He is obviously having a good time with your gift and who knows what he might create one day because you started him out with a coloring book and markers….Have fun…
So adorable! Love the little toes
That is so sweet; great memories to share with him when he gets older. I kept a record for awhile of things my boys said that were funny. One day my younger son came across it, and was laughing so hard he almost got the hiccups at the things he said when he was little. Precious.
So is the outside of your fridge filled with Little Man’s first “masterpieces”? Adorable post!
These shots are darling Laurie! He looks so focused and content… I just love those little curled toes. Have a wonderful weekend with your little artist 🙂
They are so enchanting at this age.
FYI: I enjoy shopping at Costco too … I hardly buy anything, but it’s fabulous people watching and you never know what they’ll have there.
Be still my heart. Oh, so precious! This reminds me of a post I did about Alex and his “watercolors” a couple of years ago. Oh, your Little Man is so precious, too. I am late coming to the creativity table, but my Little Ones are getting an early start! blessings ~ tanna
Oh yea – what a cutie! My kind of guy – he’s just getting right into it. Love his focus ~
Looks like you did well. Both with the art supplies and the images. Beautiful.
Blessing Him. These are amazing photographs. Thanks and Love, nia
Too cute and a wonderful study of a child’s intense interest in the creative process of colouring.
An early start indeed. He is absolutely enjoy the gifts!
He sure is getting big and looks so grown up! We miss him and really enjoy seeing him on this blog.
Thanks
Trish
Sweet.
