I finally found something that J really enjoys doing, that helps him relax, teaches him how to focus, and take his time. And something that he will be able to show off once he's finished and keep forever. Paint by numbers.
He got one for Christmas and has been working on it since the 26th. He is doing one or two colors at a time, and although he isnt working on it everyday, he has learned to pick it up when he's bored and cant think of anything else to do. He likes that time seems to pass quickly and he can see that he has accomplished something....I wonder if this is the start of something bigger....eventually, painting his own ideas perhaps? an art gallery showing some day maybe? or maybe even just a means to help alleviate some stress once in a while when his brothers are bothering him. Who knows? But what I do know is that its the best $8.99 I've ever spent on J and I'll be more than happy to buy him more when he's done this one.
