Max's teachers said he should start holding pens and such and so last week my mom bought him some special baby markers and then she put some paper on the table and instructed me to help him hold the markers. I had to pay special attention to put the markers in his left hand because my dad is determined to make Max left-handed. Right or left-handed, I'm not sure if there was more ink on me, on him or ingested, but it mostly did not end up on the paper. Writing time quickly degenerated into tears when I tried to clean him up, but I was determined to have a picture of us covered with marker to document his first experience at writing. (I'm sure Ezra Pound looked like the the first time he tried to use markers.)
