Monday afternoon art workings by mommy

I managed to pry Lily out of her room and get her into the "wilderness" today. We collected leaves together and brought them inside for an attempt at a rare, semi-structured, mommy and Lily art project. The old stand-by fall project of leaf rubbings..

Wow.. what an amazing job for a 3 year old, huh?

Ya. She didn't want to do it. I showed her how. But she didn't want to. At first she was at least helping to place the leaves.. but that lasted all of 10 seconds. So.. I did the rest. It was actually kinda fun.

But while I was doing that.. I was also being instructed on drawing what turned out to be a family photo- I guess? Except we don't have a tiger. As far as I know anyway..

She picked out all the colors.. and told me where everyone was supposed to go. When I asked her what color she wanted her hair to be.. she told me "purple." That's my kid..
