The other day, I was quite angry with Ryan for drawing and not finishing his homework. In fact, I raised my voice at him. But right at that instant, I picked up three pieces of artwork from the floor. I asked, 'Whose are these?' Not surprisingly, it was Ryan. Immediately, I felt a sense of guilt. This boy loves to draw. Ryan can spend the whole day drawing non-stop and digs into my handbag for paper and pencil all the time. He would be happy even with a discarded receipt or a used parking coupon on hand. Just as long, he can have 3cm of space to draw on.
Well, that's Ryan for you. And each time I see his drawings, I am pretty amazed cos he can beat his mother hands down on art. He draws from photographic memory of what he sees, be it from pictures, brochures or even from movies. TS and I thinks he can be a cartoonist.
I do feel guilty about being one of those mothers who want their children to pursue their 'unfulfilled dreams'...if you know what I mean. I have since repented. I bought Ryan a scrap book and a box of magic pens the other day, and he was so happy that he started straight to work.
