coloring with JA

Mommy sets up with a large piece of paper (grocery bag), the crayons (all 12), and the camera. "Look JA - crayons!! We're going to have so much fun coloring with the crayons!!!"
JA crawls over, assesses the scene and grabs a crayon.
Mommy: "Oh, look, you have a green crayon," as she grabs the camera.
JA looks at crayon and Mommy, with camera poised, and begins chewing on crayon.
Mommy: "No, shew, yuck. We don't eat the crayons, we color with them. Watch, Mommy" Mommy pulls crayon out of his mouth while demonstrating how to color.
JA watches intently as he grabs another crayon and begins chewing on it.
Mommy takes away second crayon, demonstrates coloring and explains again that we don't eat crayons. Mommy is now laying on two crayons.
JA grabs two more crayons - looks at one while chewing on the other.
Mommy now puts all of the crayons under her while explaining we don't eat crayons.
JA thinks it's a game and tries to get the crayons under Mommy so he can eat them.
Mommy gathers all of the crayons and decides that maybe it's too early for coloring. Maybe we should wait another month... or so...
