No ...It's also hard to be the younger sibling. No matter how hard you try to help each child shine, they always compare their weaknesses to their siblings strengths -- a pattern we adults continue throughout our life, I'm afraid.<br /><br />Rachel overheard us tell someone once that she wasn't as brilliant as Roger (most of us aren't) and that comment haunted her for most of her childhood. I would have given my right arm to retract it. She is over it now and recognizes her intellectual gifts are just different than his. She is wise, he is just intellectually gifted but not very wise.<br /><br />You are such a great mom! <br /><br />Love ya,<br /><br />ABBarb's blessingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01159630432017083920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8598862945390612019.post-41533898562341147942010-11-30T12:51:43.544-08:002010-11-30T12:51:43.544-08:00I'm so glad to hear someone else say that art ...I'm so glad to hear someone else say that art is exhausting! (I was an art major. Fun, but a lot of work!) <br /><br />I guess people think that since it's relaxing to view art, it must have been relaxing to produce the art. Creativity is work, but very fun and rewarding.<br /><br />I remember doing the exact same thing when I was about 6. I was trying to draw a picture for my aunt, and when it didn't look right, I sobbed and sobbed in my room. I was sure that my special little talent had vanished. :( so sad.<br /><br />I should really make more time for art now. SIGH. I miss it!Jamie Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05545375584768570518noreply@blogger.com
