So Close, But No Cigar


Seth was upset. The picture he was coloring didn't look quite right.

Riley came up behind him, put her arms around him and said,

"Seth. Don't be sad, I love your art." They hugged and he seemed to feel a little better.

"Even if it isn't that good." She added, in the most sincere and loving tone imaginable.

God, I love that girl. She's got it all--empathy, love, and a hell of a sense of timing.

How wonderful that she tried to help Seth feel better.

That is TOO funny! I love how kids just say it how it is.
This reminds me of two books which my children LOVE - "Ish" (about a boy who loves to draw, but his pictures don't really look like what he is drawing) and "The Art Lesson" - these are two great books -you will enjoy reading them, too.

Keep drawing Seth -it's too early to let the Inner Critic win!!!!!!

She will always think about others. That is so cool. :) I wonder where she gets that from? Not too far from the tree.
