Growing Up


Adelaide has never been one for drawing. She loves to paint and color but drawing has never been something she was very interested in.

Lately we've been working on tracing letters and numbers and she has been practicing on her white board.

The other day I was sitting at the kitchen table doing homework while she was working away on her white board. I turned around and recognized people in the picture she was drawing. She told me it was mommy, daddy, her, and baby brother. I was absolutely beaming with pride. I was so excited at this new development that I wanted to burst.

She drew faces, arms, legs, and even hair. I had never seen her draw anything even close to that before. Anyway, I was thinking to myself that if something as small as drawing people made me so proud, the other accomplishments she will make in her life just might drop me to the floor.

She is totally awesome.
