Two pumas, a beetle and a rocketship went for a walk.

Miles stunned me today. He was drawing quietly (usually the fact that he's being quiet would have been enough to shock me). When he draws it's usually scribbles, with the odd circle thrown in for good measure.

But today he drew this.




What is it Miles? I asked, trying to act all casual.

"A puma, a beetle, another puma and a rocket ship." he stated matter of factly, as if to say duh mum.

I was blown away with delight. I love it when my children surprise me. Love it when they do something I think is beyond their abilities. It's a reminder not to underestimate them. I underestimated him and was expecting scribble, but instead got two pumas, a beetle and a rocket ship.

I'll never underestimate him again.
