Self Portrait

Mason had to sketch a self portrait for an art assignment earlier this week.

As I look at his work, I can't help but remember this is the same kid whose handwriting and fine motor skills in second grade were the equivalent of a four year old's.  I don't think about that a whole lot anymore, but I still remember the day the Occupational Therapist told me that as she was explaining the results of his evaluation.  All I can say is that this now fourteen-year-old kid's drawing skills are above and beyond anything his forty-something mama could do.  I can't even draw a stick figure.
