We’ll both draw something every day.

Dylan already draws every day, but for me it will be more of a challenge. I haven’t done any drawing since he was born, and he’s five now. I thought this would be a fun way to get into blogging regularly, and it would give us mommy and son time doing something that we both love.

I’m more than a bit rusty, but after doing today’s drawing (I drew Dylan drawing! – it was tough because he wiggled a lot. And it doesn’t look much like him, either) I’m remembering again how relaxing drawing is. Sitting and focusing and truly seeing something is very much like meditation.

So here are our Day 1 drawings (Dylan actually did a lot more drawings today but we picked this one for his Day 1 drawing):
