The Latest Painting on The Fridge Gallery

 

The other day Koen came home from school

and seemed a bit sad.

I asked him what was wrong and 

he told me that he'd painted a picture

of his mommy while he was at school

but that he couldn't bring it home

because the paint was drying.

He REALLY wanted to give me the painting.

The next day I reminded him to grab it

and he looked even sadder and told me

that he couldn't bring it home because the

teacher was going to display them on the wall.

Then he cried a little.

His sweet teacher saw his tears

and told him that he could take it home 

if he wanted to.

Then she told me that the instructions

were to paint a self portrait

but Koen insisted on painting me.

Be still my mama heart!

He proudly handed it to me

and said

"See on top, mama. That's your hair bun."

"See your smiling lips?"

Oh, this little boy slays me all the time.

Now the painting is hung

in the highest place of honor in our home,

the fridge.

I smile every single time that I pass by it.
