Megan is generally the one to ask to color, will color longer, and with greater care and precision, than Kayla. She is more practiced at holding her crayons, and does so "normally" much better than Kayla. She'll take to suggestions (color the shoes) much easier as well, and will see it through. She'll switch colors more often as well, and will color multiple pages.
Then we have Kayla, the Artist:
Kayla is all about coloring with enthusiasm. She will not keep at it as long as Megan does, but obviously gets her money's worth. Big, looping circles and arcs in rapid succession is typical, as is only a couple of color changes. She's done with this activity in about half the time Megan is typically, usually choosing not to do more than one page.
It's interesting, because their coloring methods are in contrast with what we observe as their normal personalities. Usually Kayla is the "thinker"; generally more even tempered than Megan, generally more relaxed physically, and easier to reason with logically. She's always the first to tire, and almost always goes to bed easier, with minimal fuss. Megan meanwhile is the one more likely to run headlong into your arms...or the corner of the coffee table, the wall, or the sidewalk. She's also much more likely to transform from Good Megan to Evil Megan at the drop of a hat. Megan has, to my knowledge, never willingly slept, and fights any hint of sleep with every fiber of her being.
