Stone's favorite things these days: Mommy's keyboard, computer, printer, guitar, cell phone, work phone, highlighters and colorful pens (oh, and our keys, but don't get me started). He loves anything shiny or colorful that he knows he cannot have.So, this past weekend, Cliff created Stone his own work station, so that he can get work done while mommy does. Cliff stacked antique suit cases, and put a cuttin
g board on top as the desk top, and gave him a highlighter and some paper. Oh my gosh, the kid was in heaven. He stayed at his desk for a solid 30 minutes (anyone who knows Stone, knows that is unbelievable). He cried when we left to go out to dinner. He was not ready to put his highlighter away. That night, we searched for a little desk, but couldn't find anything we liked, so instead, we bought a dry erase board for the top, and bought mess free markers and the special coloring book. That night, we re-set his station next to mine, and when he walked into the room, he SQUEELED with joy. He has turned into a little artist. Below is a video before we rearranged things. This is him jibber jabbering. Pardon the lower quality video.
This following video is intended for the grandparents. All others will be board. This is his final work station. This video shows HOW content and still he was for a prolonged period of time. Again, unless you are a grandparent, you probably will not be entertained.
And here are some cute pictures:

Claire and Stone are just alike! I don't work with Claire anymore because all she wants to do is bang my keyboard and color on my Wacom pad! She has a special notebook and a box of crayons that she takes everywhere! Stone is just too cute!
looks like Stone wants to be just like his mom and dad. Cute.
Love that talented lil boy. Cannot wait to see him in a few days. Hopefully he'll like the work station I've set up :)
What a great idea! I hope that it will help you be able to get some work done now:-) That's awesome he was so content for 30 minutes. I might have to try something like that.
ok so cute!! AND....
HAPPY TWILIGHT DAY!!!!!!!
XOXOX cant wait to see you guys next week!!
Hey those pictures are so cute! I saw a really cute table and chair set for little kids at Bed Bath and Beyond. I don't know if they still have any, but you can look on their website if you want. Keep posting pictures of your cute family :)
That is so great! I love the work station. I can't believe my eyes to see him sitting so still -- that must be really nice. If he can be excited about coloring right now, that is a good sign for sitting still in the future. :)
that is so cute! i like how he does like two strokes with a color before he changes!! cute idea with the suitcases!
what a good idea. i think i'm going to try to make danny a desk too! i especially enjoyed the videos, watching him in action. he's so adorable!!

Oh my gosh! Stone is so cute in these videos. I love his little jibber jabber.
