Two six weeks with only a tiny slip-up is fantastic. I was a little surprised at first when I saw, with Belle's class, that even Kindergardeners misbehave for a sub. Shows just how much normalcy and routine mean to them, I guess. Hurray for Bert! Two six weeks with only a tiny slip-up is fantastic.

Kids take so much to heart. It was great that he cared and it was great that he trusted you enough to tell you *in*between*sobs* Poor kid. I’m so glad this all got settled with no bloodshed.

I just know that one moment I had it pretty much nailed...and then I started doing some more stuff and looked up again and it was an older boy. I didn't know how to undo what I had done...plus I had darkened so much I couldn't really undo. I guess this is a testament to paying more attention as you change the smallest things. :) I appreciate your response. thanks! so it was the lines and the eyes.

Adding lines make them instantly look older, but not enough lines make them look like every other kid. The eye's are bigger and very little white, but that can make them look cartoonish if over done. It's so hard, but you do an excellent job at it. Kids are so hard to draw. Adding lines make them instantly look older, but not enough lines make them look like every other kid.

I was trying to look for something to give you advice on but there is nothing. I love the shading where his skin looks "shiny" on the side of his nose/forehead and cheeks. Terrific job.

I have the same issues with my father and I too am forgiving him and allowing him the opportunity to be a part of my life when he decides he wants to. It's so hard, but I think it's the right thing to do. And I want peace. Great post. Beautifully said.
