Maile is still has a coloring problem. She colors ALL the time. She has some coloring books, but I print a lot of pictures off the internet for her. I just search Google images of coloring pages and she picks one. It used to be a fairly quick process. Now it goes like this:
Maile: Mommy will you print me outta picture??
Me: Sure what do you want?
Maile: Ummmm…I want a angel cat.
Me: Okkkk…
So then I google search: angel + cat + coloring page and poof. Maile gets a variety to choose from.
Me: How about that one?
Maile: Nooooo.
Me: How about that one?
Maile: Noooo.
Me: How about that one?
Maile: Noooo.
You see Maile usually has a specific picture in her head and is basically trying to find that exact picture on the internet. We looked for a cat angel for approximately 50 seconds of me searching and sighing before she says “ummm maybe I wanna heart instead.”
Google Search: Heart + coloring page
Maile: No no no. I mean I wanna a Val-en-time heart.
Google Search: Valentine + heart + coloring page.
Maile: I mean I want TWO hearts like der stuck togeder.
Google Search: Two hearts + coloring page.
We scroll and scroll and scroll and I’m all “how about that one?” and “ok well you’re gonna need to pick one soon because Kainoa’s waking up”
And then she decided on one and is all “wait wait wait, no go back I wanna that one instead”
Me: That one?
Maile: Mmmhmmm. I like that one cause it’s gotta name on it.
Me: okaaaay.
Maile: What does it say on it?
Me: Claire???
Maile: Yeah that’s the one.
I just spent approximately 5 minutes of my morning looking for a picture of another child’s name for Maile to color.
