Kids private studio

Today is the last day of the long weekend. Both Janly and I were busy with our own works, and we left kids to their own demise. Tahlia set up her own watercolor studio in the study and was diligently working on her sketches all afternoon.  Keely was busy working on multiple projects and she had pieces of balsa wood, scraps of paper, clay and cut- up popsicle sticks all over and under her desk. Tahlia has great intuition with colors, and she paints beautifully.  Keely, on the other hand, is a fearless maker.  Nothing is ever too hard to make.  She is constantly searching on Youtube for new projects.

I am only 8!

I shared with Keely that we are preparing a birthday surprise project for Tahlia. I told her that mom had invited many family members and friends to work on this project together. Each person will write a letter to Tahlia, and share their love and words of wisdom. I told her that would be amazing if she could contribute by writing a little poem for her sister.  I also mentioned to her that each person will attach with the letter a photo of themselves at age 13.  Keely looked very perplexed and said to me: “Dad, you want me to take a photo of me from the future? I am only 8 years old! “
