Aunt Helena came to visits this week and gave Ethan his first glimpse into artistic genius. As a "Welcome-to-the-World" gift she agreed to paint a painting for Ethan. What she created was by no means short of the most brilliantly, artistic, and creative scene of Pooh (the bear that is). In the mean while, Ethan learned about sketching, composition, how to use techniques such as hue and line to create feeling and emotion, and other techniques far beyond the comprehension of his parents. Ethan watched in awe, absorbing it all like the little sponge that he is; you could tell by the serene silence that overcame him as he watched is Aunt work. Now how did this "serene" silence differ from "I'm-an-infant-and-can't-talk-anyway" silence? Well it was subtle and pretty much indescribable. But trust me it was definitely there.
I am his father... I know these things.
Trust me.
