Artwork and writing


Elise brought home this picture on the first day of school, and told me it was a picture of me. Don't I look beautiful? What I really appreciate about this picture is that I have a body. Usually her people pictures are a head with a face drawn in and arms and legs coming out of it, but without a body. The second picture is of the second time she wrote he name. I helped her write her name for the first time a few weeks ago when we were waiting at the doctor, and I carefully folded up the little scrap of paper we wrote it on and tucked it in my wallet for safekeeping. If you have ever seen inside my wallet, then you know that it is really not a very "safe" place to keep anything. It is on the slightly disorganized side. Now of course I can't find it, so I will just have to keep the paper from the second time she wrote her name. I can't believe how fast she is growing up!

That's funny you have an artwork centered post, as I have one "waiting" to be posted.
I love to see pictures drawn by little kids. Your portrait by Elise is so darn cute. I'm glad you have a blog, so even if you "misplace" the cute paper, you still have a photo of it. Yippie!
