Dear Mary Ann,
I had the pleasure of watching a one year old make what I think was his
first mark. I was at a wedding shower and this energetic little boy was into
everything, keeping us all busy. He picked up a pencil and started playing
with it. I was worried about his safety, and started to take it away from
him, but then decided to see if he wanted to make marks. I took his hand,
with the pencil in it, and started moving it back and forth on paper, then
let go. His eyes got really wide, his mouth gaped open, and he looked at me
as if he couldn't believe what he just did. He continued, and started
laughing. . . his mom will probably be mad at me when he starts drawing all
over the walls, hee hee.
