Speaking of Ellie's curtains

I was at the dining room table working on Ellie's curtains and decided to go to the kitchen to check on little miss and this is what I saw...

Putting the lid back on the marker

Going to get situated

Drawing "circuhs" (circles)

All the markers, paper, stamps, and letters out and playing

This just melted my heart for so many reasons. First, she rarely

ever plays alone. She normally wants "mama sit" so we can

color, read, or do whatever together. Second, I'm not the one in

charge of cleaning all this mess up. She actually cleans most of

it by herself. She will sing "cean up, cean up" and take care

of business. Of course, I help her but she is really good at doing

it herself. Lastly, I can't believe my baby girl is big enough to draw circles, and get out all of her stuff all by herself! She has a cabinet in the kitchen with her art stuff and she just helps herself. I love this child!
