"A kid's life is like a painting," says Dr. Thompson. "The initial brushstrokes begin to define it, but by the time he's in grade school, there are so many different strokes that you can't even see the early ones anymore." And whatever style that work of art turns out to be, it will be a beautiful surprise.
I love the metaphor. The way you raise your child from when he/she is an infant can really affect who they are in the future, just like the start of a beautiful piece of artwork.
I had a dream about Iz-Iz last night and having to keep her warm with a thermal blanket. She was very small and had her papa's big eyes. (: It may be a little more difficult to sleep now but I am so excited for her arrival. I am so excited to hold her in my arms soon. (:
Today, we are having a lovely snow day in with Dominoes and tea and hot cocoa. So thankful that God has provided us with nourishment day after day.
You can see the snow outside our window on this lovely little hill. (: It's flurrying still. Hee. It makes me happy. The first snow of the winter! c:

Betcha and Iz-Iz
