Done for the Digidare No.: 169 about the Herculean effort my son has gone through learning to use a pencil.
Journaling reads, if you can bothered.....
This pleases me so much. He might only be colouring in, an activity for a child much younger perhaps, but for Paddy this is quite an achievement. You see hes never been a keen artist. In fact, hes had great difficulty even holding a pencil properly and probably because of this hes never shown any interest in drawing, colouring, painting or any other form of craft.
During Year 2 he finally got to grips with his handwriting, although it had been a Herculean effort up until then. And finally in Year 3 hes showing signs of wanting to draw, although the most likely subjects are machine guns and Star Wars spaceships! He will now join in when the other two are busy creating, although hes not necessarily colouring within the lines.
