So we bought this book called Olivia and I love love love it because the character in the book is AVA RIGHT ON! One of the things she loves to do is change about 20 times a day. It is amazing! Olivia and Ava are one in the same in so many ways. One rainy day, Olivia goes to a museum and looks at a painting that doesn't make sense to her because it is so messy and crazy that she thinks she can do it herself. When she get's home, she gives it a try on her wall, to her mother's shock!!!!!
As you look at exhibit A, you will notice that Ava and Olivia are, once again, all too similar! I put Ava down for a "nap" and at the end of the 3 hours, I walk in to come get her because I thought that I had heard her moving around in her bed. When I turned the corner and saw the wall that is by Ava's bed I gasped and almost fell backward! Unfortunately this picture can't capture the whole "mural" because it is TOO LARGE! Can you believe it??!! I looked down at her and there on her bed is a Sharpie....A SHARPIE! PERMANENT=MUCH HARDER TO GET OFF!! She just learned how to draw people as you can see: One big head, two eyes, curly hair, big smile, stick arms and legs. Kevin was right behind me and had the same reaction. Unfortunately, we are staying with Kev's parents and this is their wall! Sorry grandma, she really is just trying to express herself through art! After the initial shock wore off, it really was so cute that she drew little people all over the wall. I guess you might have to be a parent to really appreciate your child's developmental stages. This is one for Ava, I never knew she could draw people so well and that she gave them arms, legs, hair, eyes, and a smile. Call me crazy.....
