I'll push myself up through the dirt and shake my petals free
I'm resigned to being born and so resigned to bravery.

The Art of Processing

Last year Cami and I explained to a disappointed Bryn that "Uncle Chris" was going to be my friend instead of my boyfriend. We tried not to transfer the sad feelings associated with such transitions, and instead focused on the fact that she could continue to be his friend. She seems to have adjusted well, and Peter found this creation on their floor the other day after she had been drawing: (Please be sure to note Tim's beard and Chris's hair...)

I think you three make a very cute couple. I'm glad to see that Bryn is doing her art therapy for this. It's not good to stuff things.

Both are quite the catch.

It's got to be a little baffling for her.

Love the drawing. Maybe I'll get the art supplies out around here, too, at least for Megan. :-)

What Bryn has to say about this picture: They're holding hands and going for a walk. She also added, "And, they're talking about me and planning to get me a yellow kitten with orange stripes and a cute little pinky-purple bow with light blue polka-dots. (little giggle)"
