Dear and Deer

KMama is giving away a copy of Alternative ABCs on her blog today.  Go check it out and enter to win the "alternative ABC book for hipster, urban moms and their cool little youngsters". 




Katrina is getting old enough to really enjoy arts and crafts.  She loves making bead jewelry, drawing, and creating collages.  And since I am quickly running out of room in our home to store her artwork, I thought we would do a little feature of my budding artist.  Below is a letter she wrote me for Mother's Day:

It says:

"Love Katrina

Dear Mommy, I like you

very much.  I like your

earrings.  I like the way you

smile.  I love the way you

wear your necklaces.  I

love all your things.  I love

you so so so so so so so

so so so so so so so so

so so so so much.  I like

you both so much.

Happy Mother's Day.

I love you.

Personally, I love her backwards letter As.  She tried to convince me that she had to write her As like that, since she was a lefty.  Yeah, that excuse didn't fly.

And here is a picture of a deer in our backyard, with a red robin and a squirrel in a tree.

And a self-portrait, complete with heels.

This picture she actually did at school for Christmas.

And here is her collage self-portrait.

I enjoyed her tongue the best.  And that is either trees or broccoli in the background.  I'm not sure which.

I love my big kid.  Even when I have to buy more art supplies every week to keep her entertained.
