Drawings

Madi was being my little cleaning buddy on Friday. She helped clean the bathrooms with me. While in my bathroom, I set my "beauty" basket on the laundry hamper to clean the sink. I didn't realize that there was lipstick in there. So, I'm cleaning away and Madi says "Look Mommy, makeup!!!" Luckily she did a good job and kept the lipstick where it was supposed to go. That could have been a big mess. Not that we aren't used to those. Two days before she got into the lotion that was left out (Chris) and was totally slicked up. We had to take a bath after that one. Lotion in her hair, all over her face, hands and stomach. She was pretty soft though. For a little girl who doesn't want to have anything to do with girl stuff, she sure likes my makeup!!

Madi loves to draw and she is constantly pulling paper out of the printer to make pictures. But her drawing skills have taken a huge leap this last week. It's usually just scribbles but today she brings her drawing over and I couldn't believe it. It actually looks like a person. But not just any person, she said that it was Daddy. It does look like him, whiskers and all!! First she showed it to me without the lovely do on top. She took it back and said Daddy needed hair. So, this was her final masterpiece. I think this is pretty good for a 2 1/2 year old. I was amazed just the other day when she gave me a picture and she had little circles drawn on it. I thought, she sure has good hand/eye control to make such little circles. I don't know where she is supposed to be, but I am satisfied with her progress.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day! Have a great rest of the week.

Love, Amy
