Food for thought...

The other day, I was chatting with B's preschool teacher, and she was talking about how you can sometimes see aspects of a kid's personality in their art work. She mentioned that, if given paint and a blank peice of paper, kids who are more reserved will keep their work well inside the boudaries of the page, and will tend to keep things a little more structured. On the flip side, kids who are risk-takers tend to paint all the way to, and past, the edges of the paper, and will really fill the paper with paint.

Interesting.

Then, the kids were at Atrium the very next day, and came home with these paintings...

B painted this:




M, on the other hand, painted this:



Um...wow. Please, people, leave me a comment and tell me how this is going to play out in the high school years!!!

Ahahaha. TROUBLE is what your going to get. At least she's the youngest so Ben can keep an eye on her.

Aunt RiRi will tell you how it plays out. Ben will be captain of the chess club and sing in the choir. Molly will be on the roller derby team (aptly named the body smashers).... with her cousin Anna.

LOL!! Great post! I'm pretty sure my third would be in the same boat if I ever let her get a hold of finger paints (HA!). I'm just hoping that if she keeps God at the center of her life it will be the guiding force to keep her on the right path. :)
