when images come to life

May 14, 2013

We draw with chalk, crayons, pencils and pens around here. Besides the standard rainbows and hearts, Coco loves drawings of pigs, butterflies, cats and birds. And ladybugs. When she found a real, live ladybug she was fascinated. (I only got nervous when she wanted to kiss said ladybug!) It was so much fun to watch as she learned by discovery — and to see her expressions as she compared the real bug to the drawings she’s seen so many times — to experience the moment that the flat drawings came to life.

Hi Ladybug!

Don’t we all hope for the same thing in all of our photos?
