I'm obsessed with the Japanese patterns book! |
So I hitched a ride on the adult coloring books bandwagon and, well, it's been fun. I wouldn't say I was relaxed by it, which is the main reason why this trend exploded—it's supposed to relieve us grown-ups from stress as it is a calming activity. I tried it but I think it's an activity meant to be done when you're all alone. Or when you're with fellow grownups. No kids bumping your elbow and thus messing up your work. No kids yelling at you to "Use this purple pencil on that fish, Mama!" No kids trying to destroy your house and so you get up in a rush to rescue the TV and then when you come back to your coloring activity, you find that the baby has picked up an angry orange marker and slashed away at your meticulously colored page.
Yes, it's definitely an activity with no kids involved!
Still, I've been able to do a few pages and I did enjoy it. See here:

My son Vito helped me color these "rainbow umbrellas." That's what he calls them. |

I'm still doing the sky page while Vito does the hills page. That's what he calls them, too! |
I have a few more coloring books that I got from Fully Booked. Lemme share them with you so you can see what fun they are!

For people who like repetition and symmetry. |
I'm the last type. I like patterns. For me, patterns are soothing. My mommy life is chaotic enough already so the repetition and predictability of patterns calm me.
