These bitterly cold mornings keep us indoors while waiting for the bus. Once that door opens and Cutie Pie leaves, Sweet Pea and I spend a few minutes drawing on the frost-covered door before shutting the heavy door and retreating to the warmth.I especially enjoy this time, though, when he’s using his imagination, coming up with his own ideas of what to draw. It’s like my little eye into his ideas for the day.
Sweet Pea seems to enjoy feeling the cold with his fingers then scraping some frost, or drawing on the fogged surface. Most days he draws pictures for me, or makes handprints, but some days he likes to meet my challenges.
Some mornings I challenge him to write his name, or a letter he is learning in school. Other times he draws objects he’d like to build with LEGOs later in the day.
How do you start your days?
