i just wanted to AW how skinny i look

[frkls]

but really! should i be worried that his dad is not in the family picture!?

[knx9211]

You and your children have very long fingers. Do you all play the piano? You should.

[nsl]

I love how he drew his own hair!

Nah. Kids are weird.

My brother had an imaginary friend Bob that hung around my Dad. When dad left for work, so did Bob. "BYE DAD!! BYE BOB!!!" My brother couldn't even get his own imaginary friend to hang out with him. Now THAT'S worrisome.

Maybe he's the sun?

[itsme]

Your hair is lovely.

[papie]

omg lol.  That is such a boy drawing. 

Sophia often forgets to draw Alex.  If I ask her about it, she is all "Oh well, he was at daycare!".  Or "He is taking a nap in a different room!".

Is Jonah wearing sunglasses?

I think you need more than two fingers on each hand to become a virtuoso.

I'm sorry for ruining your childhood memories.

He probably ran out of time. In our first portrait this year, the artist drew herself down to toes and fingers. Her sister had hair. MH and I were floating heads because she ran out of time.

he wears regular glasses...  just not usually solid black.  maybe those are transitions

[gummybear]

LOL so cute.
Last year DD #2 did a "Thank you God" project at school. Amongst the praise for chocolate milk, popcorn and banana bread, she was supposed to list the people she was thankful for. She listed me, her sister and Michael. Michael is her classmate.

DH totally got the shaft

[Redpoppy]

DS used to draw a baby in the family pictures. I was not pregnant. It was the one they hung on the wall. A friend asked if I had any news to share. Lol.

In strict contrast, my oldest even draws in the neighbor's kid or some random friend.

Maybe he just figured that Dad was the one taking this family picture and could not be in it lol. You could go with that story.

My daughter used to draw me with the "boy baby and girl baby" in my belly. I'll admit I pushed for a dating ultrasound with her sister because I needed to prepare myself if it was twins.

I am so excited for future drawings by my kid.

They will be crazy for sure.

knx9211 and Eagles, my kid goes from room to room right now waving and saying hi to nobody. Eek.

DD used to talk to my dad in the aisles at target. Who knew he'd choose to spend his afterlife near the conditioner?

At our pedi's 5 year/pre-k appointment, she asks the kids to draw themselves, and their family.  N drew all of us, and added a phone in H's hand.  She asked N to explain the picture, and N matter-of-factly said "Daddy's on his phone, ordering boxes from Amazon.  He orders a LOT of boxes from Amazon."

And then I simultaneously died, and did an internal happy dance that H took the fall, instead of me.

But that picture is so cute!  And you look positively radiant in it.

Ps I texted my brother today asking if he remembered bob so I could ask if he's a ghost. He didn't answer me. What a dick.
