Sam watched as the big kids climbed the hill and decided that he wanted to also. He tried...and slid backwards. He tried again and again and again. Finally, bursting with triumphant glee, he made it! I don't know if he or I was more proud.
Here is our youngest in our local B & N reading through Peter H. Reynolds' book, "Ish". This book is a wonderful children's book with great illustrations about a boy, Ramon, who loves to draw. Joshua is just like the character in the book; he can draw for hours, any place, any time. He is also like Ramon in that he gets discouraged when his drawing does not look as real as the subject. I wanted Joshua to be reminded, by reading through this book, that we are all rooting for him, just like Ramon's sister.
This simple book showed our son how much we value his love for art and the way he expresses through it, even if it's just "ish" now...
