the difference a day can make

I took these photos to remind myself what a difference a day can make. To remind myself that even the worst of days can be followed by a good one. And to remind myself that sometimes all that is required to fix the mess of disappointment and doubt that a bad day brings is a good sleep, a day at home and time spent together.

Forget the housework and make paper crowns.

Henry's art

It is only fairly recently that Henry began drawing recognisable objects and figures. It's not something I ever tried to 'steer' him toward and I made a conscious effort to never assume he was drawing 'something'. I wanted him to find his own way.

But figures and things have started to happen and sometimes they are simply remarkable. Not in a 'gee my kid is so talented' kind of way but just in the wonderful 'kids draw wacky stuff' kind of way.

This is what he drew a couple of nights ago. I love them. The one in pink is me and the really awesome blue one with all the crazy hair is Greg.
