The Difference...

The difference between Emma and Ethan...

Mommy was cleaning the garage out. Emma was left to play. After inspecting her plethora of possibilities in her room, she decided she wanted to paint. Ethan was napping, and she knew the rule: watercolors, only when Ethan is napping. With excitement we put her smock over her ballerina suit and tutu and got painting. Mommy set her up: Gerber baby food container of water, paper towels, paintbrushes from Chelsey (the best Sunday School teacher ever), paints and watercolor paper. Knowing this could be an independent project, Mommy went back to cleaning out the garage (spiders lurking).

Emma came running out, five minutes later, "Mom, I have a picture for you!"

The quiet that comes with a busy Emma and a busy Ethan are like night and day...each has an imagination, but the outcome is very different.
Thank you Lord for the quiet imagination...this time the end result will go in a picture frame, next time it may be the dust pan and trash can.
