On the first very nice day of April my wife and son went outside while I was teleworking and pulled out chalk. This was his first time every playing with chalk. They spent a good amount of time drawing various things like robots, rainbows and boats. When they were done I was surprised how much color our normally grey sidewalk now had and made things feel a little brighter. He had a huge grin on his face when he asked if he could trace my hands and feet with chalk on the steps (I was sitting outside too with my laptop at that point enjoying the breeze) and it made me grin just as much when he stepped back and looked proud at his work.
