In the Face of Change

This is Tevin's drawing of a face. The emotions that came with this first real drawing included surprise, pride, and overwhelm. Surprise because I'd never seen him attempt anything even close to this before (I'm guessing he does more drawing at school than I realize). Pride from the fact that it's a pretty darn good face considering the drawing LOOKS like a face, that the face is smiling, and that he's 3. Overwhelm because my baby is reminding me - every single day - that he's growing up. I wonder what it will be like when he brings home his first homework assignment, his first report card, his first black eye, his first girlfriend...... Whoa, Momma, take a breath. Take it all in.....
