This afternoon, when I put Christian down for a nap, my mom asked Tes if she would like to color. Tessie said yes, of course, and when I came back out Mom was setting her up at the dining table with paper and crayons. Tessie started to draw, and after watching her for a few minutes, my mom and I both sat down on either side of her and got our own papers. Before long, all three of us were deeply focused on our colorful projects.
I heard a noise and looked up to see my dad standing over us, smiling at what must have been an interesting sight. Three generations of ladies, a roll of paper, and a box of crayons. The perfect combination, if you ask me. It was a blast. Tessie drew beautiful flowers and fairies, I tried to draw Tes, and my mom sketched trees and flowers. I couldn't think of a better way to spend the afternoon, especially feeling under the weather as I did. It was a beautiful artistic collaboration, and I hope, one of many more to come.
