“Tim”, a cartoon character. We ran out of colored modeling clay yesterday so H.o.p. went ahead and used a neutral color and painted everything he made.
He has his priorities down. He may be incapable of cleaning up anything, but the moment he is done painting he always washes his brushes. Serious business for him. And he is good at too. Does a thorough job.
He painted the wall. He had knocked a chip of the old wallpaper off. I hadn’t gotten around to painting it yet, so he went ahead and painted it with his white acrylic. He believes that just about anything can be fixed with paint and glue.
3 new packs of paper sit on the table. His dad dropped them off this morning before heading to the studio. “Paper!” said H.o.p. First things first. Paper is a priority. Then he dove into breakfast. After his dad left he comes in and says, “I need to call my dad and say thanks for getting me the paper!” Then he realized he was out of his pens. And a good thing it was too that I managed to find one.
He’s like I was from the age 3 on up. I would put up with a different kind of paper and pen, if I had to, but I had my definite preference for paper and pen. I didn’t care much for pencil. And I hated cheap Bics because they didn’t roll smoothly and left little blots. He’s the same way. In particular about pens. Has to be a particular make. He won’t touch a cheap Bic. He would prefer not to draw.
