The Artwork Says It All

Each day Cade brings home a great piece of artwork from preschool... either penmanship practice, a coloring page, matching sheet, stickers and glitter, paint projects or free drawings. Well, a couple weeks back, they started discussing families and his teacher asked each of the kids to draw a picture of their family. Now, I have to say, that when Caden started preschool in August this year he didn't even draw faces -- not on people or suns, or pumpkins ... he barely had drawn a picture of a person before! So, I was thrilled when he came home with the following artwork:

Then Jarin and I started talking to him about his family and asked who all was represented in the photo. He started on the right, and named mommy, Caden, and Alayna, and the outer circle was our home. Puzzled, Jarin and I said, "Where's Daddy?" He proceeded to flip it over...

Cade looks at us with two big eyes, and as calm as can be says, "Daddy is outside grilling."
