while brax was sleeping today i decided to cut makai's quiet time in half and spend some one on one time with the little monkey.
i made a outside chalkboard a couple of weeks ago and so i decided we would use our artistic skills.
i let him decided what we would draw, to my surprise it wasn't a train track or a road this time, to my delight - there is only so many tracks and roads you can draw.
he started by drawing a brown circle and started talking about sting-rays (he has been obsessed with sting-rays, sharks and dolphins since our trip to sea world all the way back in march).
i love his little imagination it can run wild.
we drew sharks, fish, crabs, "seagullies", 2 suns and waves.
we had conversations
"Oh no the stingray is going to get the crab"
"Hello Mr Shark *DoDoDoDo* with his hands on his head"
"How many legs do crabs have"
"Oh quickry swim away nemo, the shark is going to get you arghhhh"
our masterpiece - TADA
Soak the chalk in water for a couple of hours if you are wanting to extend into a different experience. comes out great on couloured paper too
