Plenty of Fish in the Sea
Shakespeare could have hardly been more tragic.
It took us a while, but during this process of crayon discovery, we realized that our daughter will probably grow up to be as quirky as we are. SFBaby is quite taken with crayons, so she loves to “draw” only a little bit more than she loves to see us draw things for her.
Early on in her “artistic career,” our friends TheHayesValleyPosse introduced her to a simple drawing of a fish. Somewhere along the way, she was also introduced to happy and sad faces. Putting the two together, SFBaby’s favorite request of her parents is now to “draw sad fish.” Another recent request is “daddy draw broken heart.”
What, exactly, does that say about her? (Or about us?)
For now, we’ll just say our thanks that she seems happy and that she is scribbling on her paper pad and not the wall!
