"All By Myself"


I think every mother has the right to brag about their kids every once in a while. So this is my time. Madison I think has an incredible artistic talent. She loves to draw. All day long she just wants to draw. She has past the "coloring" stage and just wants to draw with pens and colored pencils. She has great skills with the pencil in her hand. (Better than any two year old I observed while working in a day care.) Her favorite thing to draw is happy faces. One day she was drawing at the table and she drew a happy face all on her own. Then I started to add some hair to it and she stopped me and said that she wanted to do it all by herself. And I have to admit, she did a pretty good job. So, this is a picture of Madison's own artwork with no help at all. Madison was very proud... and Mommy was too! :)

Go Madison! I'm impressed! I missed those genes somehow :)

So adorable! I still have a notebook that I use for church that has a page Madison scribbled all over. It says Madison on it. It's so cute. How nice to have pictures that actually look like something now. I'm sure you'll treasure them forever!
