James and the Green Pen

James and the Green Pen
James got some new Crayola pens recently. We've learned that they are best used when he is confined to his high chair.

James and the Green Pen
James played with one, while Dora played on the television. He was very distracted.

James and the Green Pen
He tried to draw on paper, but kept his eyes on Dora's adventures on the television.

James and the Green Pen
He played with the cap mechanism.

And then all of a sudden, he noticed that his hands were covered in green ink.

James and the Green Pen
He put down the pen, and examined his hands with some concern.

James and the Green Pen
And then it struck him. He was COVERED in ink!

James and the Green Pen
Aaaauuuggghhh!!!

James and the Green Pen
He stopped and paused to let it sink it. He would forever be green.

James and the Green Pen
He thought about life as a green little boy. It might actually be fun.

James and the Green Pen
Perhaps he could play with frogs and blend in. Whatever the case, Simon plonked James in the bath, and within moments of getting water on his hands, he was completely clean. The ink comes off totally and easily. But James sure had fun while it lasted!


A Nice Relaxed Sunday

The weather is beginning to improve here in Toronto. The rains came the other day and melted away much of the snow and ice. The days are beginning to get longer. We had a nice Sunday.

March 13 - A Relaxing Day
James decided to sit in his toy box.

March 13 - A Relaxing Day
James is slowly learning how to ride his tricycle. Moments later he fell and had a little cry.

March 13 - A Relaxing Day
Soon James made his way about on his tricycle, his cheek slightly reddened, but unbowed.

March 13 - A Relaxing Day
The snow has melted, mostly. Soon we'll be out in the park playing.

March 13 - A Relaxing Day
James's Baba visited and James had lots of fun.
