FREEDOM!
Y’all, Lucy did this by herself. I prepped lunch, turned around, and saw a little Braveheart baby playing her pipes.
(She also colored the couch blue, because it’s pretty. Did you know it’s really hard to get blue chalk out of a white couch? Because I didn’t. I sure do now.)
Anyway, it’s fascinating. We have never watched Braveheart, and I don’t know how she got the idea. I suspect those Scottish roots just run deep.
It’s been another busy week, so this is all I’ve had time to write, but I wanted to share it even though it’s not much. We could all use some silliness these days, I think. I’ll try to write something more in this next week, both to post here and because I get grouchy when I don’t have time to write. Just ask Graham. 😉
Wishing all of you a good week ahead, and happy creating!

Silly mommy. Every child knows a white couch is a canvas for chalk and markers

my heart sank for you at the chalk + couch! Ouch! Bless your patience and capacity to see the spark of levity in it (even if well after the fact, in putting it to words!)

I know! It was not a fun moment, but then, I figure, it is Lucy’s house too. One day, I’m going to miss all the messes and the scribbles. I’ve actually saved a lot of her first coloring pages and stuff. These days are precious, even if they are also very untidy. 🙂

Thanks for the smile. Eagle was into an accordion at that age. 😛

well, for her it wasn’t a couch but her canvas so can we really blame an artist for being an artist?

Yes, exactly! I need to write a post about her artwork. She really does love to draw and color, and it’s so interesting watching how she changes what she’s doing as she grows.

I’d love to read about that and to see some pictures too. My niece loves painting and it’s crazy how creative little kids can get with their art. I look forward to seeing how they do in the future
