I'm amazed by her ability to study and experiment with colors. She's always asking what two colors together will make, and has a page of those experiments in her journal. She owns multiple journals and draws every day.

I could see later that she had drawn a few "bodies" and then discarded them when she wasn't pleased with the shape evidently. She never said a word, though, just kept on trying until this appeared to her liking. She has always been a studier - even as an infant (and somewhere I wrote about this) of only a few weeks old, she could look into your soul! She initiated Peek-a-Boo with me one day at 5 months old by peeking around the sides of her highchair with one only eye and then turning her head to hide... I have always been somewhat taken aback by how she studies people and things - and she's quite the Jenga player!Donna Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13738281869266957726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604430404780110710.post-56070105984557999652018-11-30T10:19:04.962-05:002018-11-30T10:19:04.962-05:00The Gruffalo is new to me!
