Austen is currently working on connect the dot drawings and color by letter drawings, although her favorite medium is plain white paper and crayons, markers or paint. Two of her teachers have recommended we sign her up for a special art class (including her Gymboree Art teacher). She painted Mommy’s toe nails on Mother’s Day — better than Mommy could have done it. What do you think about that, Auntie Heather?
Mommy is amazed by some of her recent drawings: A Mother’s Day card done at preschool and a bug drawing done at Grandma and Grandpa’s house.
It makes Mommy think of her grandfather, John Lloyd, who did sketches while on tour in Europe during WWII as a medic and painted pictures of his daughters, Judi, Janet and June.
