Tonight, the kids were playing ever so sweetly in Maggie's room. Maggie was drawing on her easel, and Chap was just standing - idolizing every move she was making. Maggie has some "rules" posted on her bulletin board, and one of them is - "Do Not Play With My Easel." Chap is very aware of this rule. As he was just standing, watching - we secretly offered the idea to Maggie that she offer for Chap to draw while we were in there to watch. She agreed with no hesitation. So, when she finished her picture, she made the offer to Chap.
He grinned from ear to ear, and asked if he could use markers. Maggie agreed... and here is his result. He drew a "stick person" for the first time, and Maggie was so proud of him! She started jumping up and down cheering for him! So, we got up to go see the masterpiece! We praised Chap's tall stick figure...
he said, "Look! It's Whit! He growed!"
(the tall red stick figure in the middle is Chap's masterpiece..."Whit growed!")
