Now, I'm *sure* that those of you who know me in real life will recognize the subject of this drawing *immediately*. Yes...you're right...it's yours truly. 
Ammah Grace presented me with her first *recognizable* (recognizable as in not just scribbles...not recognizable in that I immediately recognized it was *me*
) drawing yesterday and proudly announced "This is you, Momma!!"Two arms...two legs...a body, head, mouth, and eyes...I'm not sure if the stuff on top is *hair* or the sky.
Anyway, I was quite impressed.As always, I have to stop and marvel for just a minute...this is the child who was at high risk for brain damage, the child that doctors warned us might have all manner of developmental problems...the child we weren't sure would ever talk, walk, or hold a pencil. She is a reminder every day of God's power and grace and sovereignty, as she runs pell-mell after her sisters and brother, determined to be *just* as big as they are, and as she talks non-stop (16 hours a day, some days :-D).
November is National Prematurity Awareness Month. Here is our little artist today...

Awww, you're beautiful and so are your kids! My two year old is learning to trace but hasn't produced anything recognizable on her own yet. It's so fun watching them learn and grow and must be especially wonderful for you after the trials you had with her.
ReplyDeleteThose first drawings are so precious,even more so when they prove medical science wrong.
ReplyDeleteShe is definitely a gift, as is that picture!
