A “Bloo” Little Moment…
Lately my sweet little boy has started drawing a lot of pictures.
Daily he presents me with dozens of drawings. Usually of aliens and space battles.

This next one we drew together. See if you can spot my footwear-inspired ship in the lower righthand corner.

I get soooo many of these per day, that they all tend to morph into one picture. And, I get a little tired of ooh-ing and aaah-ing all day long.
But the other day, he drew me his version of Santa Claus. And although it looks like a Santa pumpkin, there was something about THIS picture that truly touched me. Sometimes out of the busy-ness and crazy-ness of my life, something rises to the top and makes me take a deep breath. And this day, it was this picture.

And truly, truly it made my day better. Merry Christmas, everyone!
Aren’t our kids truly amazing people! It’s so cool to see how they learn to master new things by becoming totally into that one thing. It reminds me to take time for my hobbies and interests and to continue to grow and learn—just like you’re doing, Kari!! I love reading your pieces. They make me smile and laugh and have a better day!
Oh my word that’s cute! Love the snow that was dotted so hard, it has speckles around it. I want a picture of just some of those forceful dots!
That santa is adorable!
You have a budding artist on your hands.
Merry Christmas!!!
