The Next Picasso, Matisse, or Klimt?

Spencer has been really interested in drawing lately, so she's been making many a masterpiece. And then yesterday she churned out this work of art and said that it was a picture of me!

I don't know about you, but I think that's pretty good for a just-turned three year old. And she did it all by herself, I didn't even see what she was drawing until she'd finished it. I asked her what that big black thing on top of my head was, and she looked me like I was pretty dumb before informing me "it's Mommy's hair bow!"

It's a Jungle Out There

My daughter's bedroom.

Spencer's room as been a work in progress for a long time now, but it was well worth the wait. One of my mom's friends painted this beautiful mural for her! I gave her a basic blueprint of what I wanted and she went to town! I requested an orangutan, a lion, an elephant, and a zebra and I wanted them to look real, but friendly and happy. I couldn't be more pleased with how it turned out and Spencer really loves it.

She likes the monkey the best, or at least that's the one she says over and over, but that could be because the orangutan is the only one she know yet! Yes, it's specifically an orangutan, even though they aren't natives of the African jungle diaspora. It's my vision of the jungle so that's just how it is!

Mustafa was the inspiration.

I'm kind of jealous that I don't have one.

Now if I could only get her to sleep in there!

All You Need Is Love

I LOVE This!
