OK, these pictures have been floating around the house for a couple months, I'm trying to get organized but I couldn't bear to throw these away or simply file them to be forgotten.
So here they are, preceded by a brief explanation, otherwise they're just scribbly pictures with no meaning:
In August Michael took a liking to two pictures that were featured in a children's magazine, The Friend, and asked me to draw them. OK, so he TOLD me to draw them; he's the boss around here. I didn't want to be coloring forever, so I folded a paper in half so that my drawings would only take half as long to color, hence leaving half the page blank on each side of the paper. He was enchanted watching me copy the pictures over in freehand (I ain't no artist...this isn't about me), then he carried it around and admired it for awhile. Then it ended up on the floor in his playroom and we continued on with our lives.
A few days later I picked it up while cleaning and saw that some time when I wasn't paying attention he'd done his best to copy each of the pictures in the opposite pane. I was enchanted to see what he did with his free time one day when I wasn't looking.
I sure love my little boy.
So this won't get lost in the shuffle of all the papers I save, here they are: By the way, just a minute ago I mis-labeled it as July. Not possible though. It was from the August magazine, I promise
There's so much more worth sharing, but I can only share bits n pieces as life keeps marching on too quickly to capture every single moment. But I'd sure love to capture everything. I've already spent WAY too much time on this article, so I'm getting on with my life now
