Alex is the artist of the family. That kid could sit for hours and hours, drawing, coloring, doing any kind of art project. Last May we drove to Disney World and what a trip it was. We stopped and picked up some colors and paper to entertain the kids. Alex colored until he had every piece of paper covered.
So I often hear, “Mom, will you help me?” Lately it’s been, “Will you make me a heart?” While trying to empower him more (or just get him to leave me alone after making 20 hearts), I tell him, he can do it.
“No, I can’t.”
“Sure you can, you already have the bottom part, and the top is easy. See, it’s like a butt.” As I’m drawing two little humps and saying, “butt, butt.”
The giggles begin and he tries it himself with success. I see lots of butts, oh, I mean hearts in my future.
Empowerment, it will make you stronger.
