Adelyn plays in her art corner in our kitchen multiple times a day. She colors, plays with dough, flashcards, plays with her sand table, she pretends to decorate cupcakes, and sets up elaborate birthday parties with said cupcakes for her baby. She is in her art corner more than any other play area in our house.
She loves to color. And she loves when Matt or I color with her. Today, I drew a picture of our family. Adelyn looked at it with such adoration when I finished. "That's my family. That's Dada. That's Mama. And Addy. And Tobin." Then she asked for tape to hang it on our wall. As she stood back and admired the picture of our family, I stood back, and admired her admiring.
Thankful for my Adelyn. Thankful that in her careful selection of what gets taped to the wall, she deems a stick picture drawing of our family acceptable. And not only acceptable. Admirable. She makes me smile everyday.
