A Girl and Her Crayons



Like most kids, Stella loves to draw. Kites and circles are her favorite subject. And while her kites are a imaginative at best, her circles are downright impressive.

Of course, I fully acknowledge that every parent believes their child to be totally advanced and special. And, of course, we're no different. Whether Stella evolves into the next Picasso or she simply learns to enjoy the joys of creativity, we love watching her explore.


And goodness, it's amazing how much language development and fine motor skills emerge with broken crayons and an easel. We talk and laugh and grow quiet as we draw together, admiring each other's pictures and checking in to make sure the purple crayon is, in fact, still purple.



I love this slightly blurry photo. I revel in seeing Stella get lost, even just for a few seconds, in her vision. She's consumed by her focus and is already super detail oriented. So I suppose a "Lord help us" is in order and I'll start stocking up on the origami paper now.
