Paper dolls

This week at Rose scholars there was a different group of kids I was not familiar with. One of the girls seemed to have some issues getting along with the others. She was getting yelled at by the teacher for her reckless behavior, but I felt like all she wanted was someone to play with. I proceeded to invite her to draw with me, and I drew a few paper dolls of me, her, and the couple of other girls sharing the table. She loved it so much, looking in awe at her “twin”. It was not a fantastic drawing, but she loved it. She warmed up and settled down, proceeding to play with my hair and give me braids like her mom does to her hair. It was a situation that resolved with some patience and care.
