This morning Katie was busy making pictures again. She proudly handed me this one.
Katie explained she drew me the Canadian flag so I could look at it and remember my family and friends who live there. (Sweet, I thought). She continued to explain that she couldn't draw a leaf very well, so she felt she should label it and make an arrow so I would know what it was. (Thoughtful :o). Just before she turned to go back to make another picture she added,
"Your flag is pretty, but mine is nicer. You only have a leaf on yours, but I have lots of stars on mine".
For so many reasons this left me speechless and a little sad. She is a proud American which is honestly great. I just wish she felt a little Canadian too.
Loved the drawings big time! I'm glad she feels connected with the States too. I am thinking that as she gets older, and comes to Canada from time to time, she will also bond more with Canada too. It's a great country and the people aren't so bad either! :-)
