And as such, we have another post featuring our very own Charles (in charge)!
Here Chas is displaying quite nicely his very own, original painting...circa 2nd grade. My mother-in-law had it framed and surprised me with this. Seriously one of the best Christmas presents ever. And, yes, I definitely did cry when I opened it. As an art therapist, I'm a sucker for children's art in general. But baby Chas children's art?? Kill me now with cuteness.
And maybe I've semi-analyzed baby Chas' art and maybe I've made connections between the painting and Chas' personality. Ok, ok I did...6 minutes after unwrapping it. :) Here's what I see:
I see so much fun, bright, happy colors inside not just one, but two square containers. And that's exactly Chas- fun, bright goodness all carefully contained...twice. In other words, Chas has loads of light and happiness all contained and kept quietly inside a very gentle, very humble outside.
Every time I see this painting displayed in our living room, I'm reminded of all that's on the inside.

You should write a post sometime more about what you do as an art therapist - I'm incredibly intrigued. It sounds amazing. And what a thoughtful gift from your mother-in-law!!
That is so cute that his mom still has that! And can I please second the comment above? I would love to know as well!
