Today was Billy's first day at his drawing class.  He'll go every Thursday this month.  Billy really enjoys drawing,  most days he will spend an hour or two with a giant sheet of paper and his pencils.  Mostly he draws trucks,  semis,  dumps,  lowriders,  monsters.  You name a truck,  he can draw it.

I thought the drawing class would help him expand his repertoire and maybe give him more of the technical skills he'll need.  But - does he want to go?  NO - of course not.  Since I had prepaid for the classes,  he goes.  90 minutes later I pick up a smiling,  happy boy.  He shows me his drawings.  A dinosaur,  some snails,  a saw?,  only one truck.  I look through them,  amazed at his skill.  Then he drops the bomb.  The actually had fun.  He's glad I signed him up.  it was the best part of his day.

Oh really - what a surprise.  Maybe I know him better than he thinks.

I miss one day and see what happens? What a beautiful spider web! A small miracle waiting to be noticed. Beautiful children as well. I am glad your son enjoyed the drawing classes.
