Simon came to visit yesterday. He pulled off his preschool
backpack for us to find his important papers: his morning art production. The
grandparents offered sincere oo’s and ah’s. He gave us a pleased smile and went
on with his three year old life of eating healthy snacks prepared by his grandmother.
Three year old children are amazing, filled with confidence
and curiosity. Simon is my youngest
grandson. He came confidently into the studio as I was putting the finishing
touches on a painting. He watched for a few seconds and asked if I needed some
help. Looking down at this three foot tall child my thoughts zipped to many
years ago watching my own father as he painted. I must have been annoying
because I was soon on dad’s lap putting paint on his canvas.

On Simon's visit, I was so involved in the finishing touches of my studio
painting that I was surprised by the little voice in another room telling his
grandmother, “I guess grandpa doesn't need my help.” Next time the little one pops in for a
visit we will paint together for sure.
Enjoy the little things,
Joel
