THIS is… Only 1 Me!!

Funny thing. I was sitting in my bed, sicker than snot, last Saturday. Into my room trots my little Eva, artwork in hand. Lately, she’s taken to ransacking the “art” drawers for supplies & tools to create her little picassos. (I am so prejudiced..heehee) SO, the sight of her with art was not an unusual one. What was unusual, however, was the fact that she had produced (UNAIDED & unpressured) her very own self portrait, as well as portraits of Charles & I. I took one look at that adorable picture she drew of herself & knew that what I was seeing was her vision, her picture, herself! I thought alot about that last post, wondering if I was being too…I don’t know, “free?” Too judgemental? NOT!!! I knew in my heart that she was capable of that, I just needed to really see it in living color. She’s been making leaps and bounds all summer in her fine motor, dexterity, inventiveness & her “pretend” stories & friends. To see it all culminate was so cool! It just makes me more determined than ever than I will never let my children be boxed in by the expectations or desires of others. I know what’s right for my girls.
Watch out Picasso, Casatt, Monet & Van Gogh…
Here comes EVA!
I really am so totally prejudiced!
luv,
