Colors

You love color. The brighter the better, in your book. Rainbows are awesome. Orange. 

I got you a shirt that said colors are for everyone when you were talking boy colors and girl colors (and acting a little sad that pink wasn't a boy color). You believe that colors are gender neutral to your core at this point. 

Nevertheless, we shuddered when you said you wanted to paint your pinewood derby car pink and purple. Given that you still won't wear a My Little Pony shirt (even if it's not a glittery Rainbow Dash shirt), we didn't want to risk you hating the pinewood derby because some kid teased you about your car. 

I decided to talk. You moved to pink, purple and red. Draw me a picture of what that looks like, I asked. You drew a microscopic car and got frustrated that you couldn't get the colors right. 

What are you trying to make it look like, I prodded. "The lapis lazuli block in Minecraft!"

Understanding. We googled the block. Pictures were found. You were surprised that it didn't have pink like you remembered. 

Now, you want to swirl three colors of paint together to make this amazing looking thing. http://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Lapis_Lazuli_Block I don't think Chrys knows how to do this. Maybe we should have stuck with pink and purple. ;)
