| All three of us have colds this week. (Though only two of us are admitting it.) Annabelle rolled her chair into my room and sat down and started drawing. She called me in to join her, and really, there was no thought of refusing! Lately Annabelle has been drawing so much - it makes me so happy. It is now an every day habit, and she has asked me to make sure she has enough time in the morning to draw before we leave for school. This afternoon we sat together for over an hour, quiet except for sniffling. |

| I had a new bottle of ink to try out and a new brush too... a friend from school loaned me a book full of inspiration: lots of animals and scenery perfect for me to play with. |
 |
| As Annabelle drew this picture she was humming to herself. Then she suddenly stopped and looked at me. "You should have another baby! A boy! I could have a baby brother!" I replied that I didn't think that was going to happen. "But he could sleep in your bed!" Then she stopped and furrowed her brow, "But then where would I..." and she just trailed off and started another picture, leaving this one unfinished. |
