Sofi often pulls out her markers and paper and invites me to draw with her by saying, "Which color do you want, Mommy?". This afternoon I opted for pink. I asked her what I should draw. Now, usually, this is answered with a heart, a cloud, a circle, a star... all doable. But today, she suggested I draw her. My immediate thoughts: Yikes, hmmm, oh boy, this is gonna be ugly. My outward reaction: Okay (smile).
Well, I got started, and kept going and going (Look at me, Sweetie. Look at me again.). I'm still no artiste, but I was actually quite proud of my caricature. It turned out pretty cute and slightly resembled her, albeit all pink. She even asked me to draw her again, in black.
Maybe I won't doubt myself so quickly next time. Maybe I'll keep trying.
