Nui Nui is getting good at coloring within the lines but still has yet to hold her marker properly. (The pics below don't totally do her justice— by the time she gets to my side of the book, all her concentration and efforts to stay within the lines go loose :>).
Nui Nui loves and totally looks forward to doing this activity together (nearly) every night. Me too. It's something I realized recently and, to some extent, why I haven't been posting as much. I've begun to shut down (or not start up, actually) when I get home from work until she goes to bed. In other words, unplug. It's not 100% rigid but efforted. And I think it's making a difference. My posts are down but we're spending more quality time together. And I think that's really important. I just stumbled on some pics of Nui Nui when she was little(r). They grow so fast... too fast, you know? xoxo
