So organized.

Tara is so very much like me.  And every once in a while I get a bit more evidence for my case.  Like yesterday.

She was interested in writing a letter.  And, as Uncle Brad can attest, she carefully uses every writing utensil she can dig up.  By carefully, I mean she has a system.  See:

 This has not been edited by the writer.  It is exactly as she left it.  Used utensils across the top, unused to the left.  Heh.  Oh, and that's a page full of Mommy and Daddy and baby spiders.  She loves to draw spiders.

And when she finds one that she doesn’t care for, she only makes the smallest of writing marks.  Just so she can move it to the “used” pile.  There’s nothing that does my heart good like seeing my little organizer. :D

 And, Happy Birthday Curt!!!

And believe it or not, I like to draw spiders too…1st the web, then the one string coming down from the web with the spider on it! Great minds think alike!!

So funny!

I love looking at children’s art and asking them about it. Sometimes their idea of what they’re drawing and my idea are quite different!

Thanks Beth!! Does Tara want a job? Maybe Tara can help me organize my house sometime?

You’d better not buy her a 120-count box of crayons. She’d waste away, sitting in the chair trying to get through the whole box.

Hey, where’d my comment go?

I don’t know. There’s nothing in moderation…

I wrote it last night, so now I can’t remember it all. I think I was complimenting her use of different mediums - ink, gel ink, highlighter. (It sounded better the first time. I bet I never hit ‘add comment’. Oops!)
