Little Miracles

Little miracles happen at our house every day. Little miracles are present, in between the other grittier, less fun parts of parenting.

Here is a little miracle.
Those things in the middle of this picture are chairs. T has learned to draw pictures of chairs.
A seat, a back, and four legs: a chair.


Somehow, in the middle of all he is learning: how preschool ends and summer vacation begins, how to swim, how to hang up his own clothes, how to describe events in the past without always using the word "yesterday", how helium balloons will leave you so swiftly if you let them go, how to ask his brother about his day and really listen to the answer...Somehow, in the midst of all of that, he also learned to draw some chairs.

Pretty cool.

He can draw better than me. The lesson about helium balloons was a hard lesson. The questions is - what did Mardella learn about letting go of helium balloons??
