This past weekend we had a terrific time at the coast with friends. We had not been to the Oregon coast this summer and I hadn't realized quite how much I missed it. It was also super to have some actual long conversations with other parent friends and to watch our kids romping together.
But that's not actually what this post is about (though I'll try to post some pictures another night).
On the way home, Russell drew a picture on his MagnaDoodle for me:
Isn't it gorgeous? In case you can't properly appreciate art, I'll add that it's a picture of a bee over grass, with a flower (which looks kind of like a set of teeth) on the right. Russell's name is written in an interesting manner in the bottom right corner, and the thing over the bee is a J for Julie.
Silas also drew a picture on his MagnaDoodle and proudly showed it off:
Russell thought that was pretty cute and asked Silas in a very sweet voice, "Did you draw that picture for Mama?"
"NO," Silas replied decisively. "Draw picture for ME."
We all laughed, and Russell prompted, "Will you draw the next picture for Mama?"
"No. Picture for ME."
Has anyone else noticed that lately the planet seems to be orbiting around a small person in Oregon?
