Coloring by the Computer

I used to let Eli sit or stand on the desk while I was at the computer because that was the only way to keep him happy while I was at the computer desk. But a couple months ago, much to his dismay, I decided to put an end to that. He was getting too big and wreaking too much havoc on things to allow this habit to continue. But finally, FINALLY, we have found a solution that we both can agree on: he sits near me and colors.

We found this solution once I moved the coloring things to a shelf in the office near the computer that he had access to, and once I got him his own coloring box. Why I have to have three boxes of crayons instead of two-or even better one-before he feels like he can color is a question for another day.
