Artist

Alexandra draws all the time. It is the thing she does the most. Most often it is the same picture, a girl *wearing a dress!* standing next to a flower between grass & blue sky. And always a butterfly or a fairy in the sky - We have 100's of this same picture. I love her drawings, I have a hard time throwing any of them away, it's like they are a part of her - she spends so much time on them. Sigh, she is getting so big. :(

Yesterday she told me, "Mom, Buddy is the cutest in our family. Then Daddy, then you, then Ainsley, then me." There are a lot of directions I could go with that statement, but I have to admit the one that stands out MOST in my mind is STAN IS CUTER THAN ME!? That's it - I put an emergency call into Becky. She is on the hunt for items to update my look. I will not tolerate Stan being cuter than I am, even if he is mister buff marathon man! :-P

Last night before bed, she commented AGAIN saying, Mommy, I love you so so much. I love you bigger than a million. Bigger than earth. I just love you mommy, even when you don't wear lipstick.

So, I guess I got that going for me. Lipstick not required. Wheew!
