The Artist

I've tried several times lately to get Annika to color or paint. My attempts usually ended with me prying the crayon or paint-covered finger out of her mouth and abandoning the whole idea. Today we tried again with these great toddler crayons. She really enjoyed marking on the paper and then examining what she wrote! She paused several times to point out what she had done and "tell" me all about her artwork. Clear some refrigerator space Grandpa/Bestemor and Nanny/Pop because an artist has arrived!

Look what I did Mommy!

It's so great to be creative, she's blessed to have a mom who encourages it. Those toddler crayons are genius! You better get ready to clear whole wall spaces, you won't believe how much she will start to do!

Whenver we see Annika, whether it is during a visit or in a photo, we are reminded of Robert Brownings's poem...

All's Right With The World

The years at the spring;
The day's at the morn;
Morning's at seven;
The hill-side's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The snail's on the thorn:
God's in his heaven...
All's right with the world!
