Family Coloring Contest

My 4 year old loves to color and her coloring is finally getting better, she actually makes an effort now to stay in the lines. The other night my husband sat down and colored his own picture while she colored one, rather than working on the same picture. When he was all done, he proudly displayed his on the fridge for all to see. No not her picture!! HIS!! Hers became a paper airplane a few hours later. So a few nights later, when Dad was working night shift, I decided to sit down and color my own picture while she colored hers. Of course, I had to juggle the coloring with making dinner and keeping the baby happy. But I am not making excuses. When I was coloring, my daughter kept saying "Can I help you with yours?" Out loud, I responded with "it's okay but you color yours". In my head I was saying "NO!!!! HANDS OFF! I have to color mine nicer than Dad!". In the end, I posted both my daughters and mine on the fridge at the same height. When my husband came home, all he said was "I assume she didn't color these by herself". Hmmfff!! I told him I was trying to show-up his. And between you and me... mine wins.... LOL
