My Little Feet Arteest ;-)

I used to think that Sophia was headed for a career in soccer. Then it was climbing or something else where she would be active. I pictured her winning a medal in the 2024 Olympics in "some fastest" running event. I've seen her in many careers in my head. Just last week I thought for sure she would become a librarian. But now that I've seen what she can do with a canvas, I just know she's going to be a very famous, creative, aloof artist! Check out what she created yesterday in her very first art class.



We went into Norfolk yesterday to the Drawn to Art Studio and took the Mommy/Baby Art Class. It was so much fun and I can't wait to go again. Sophia was the oldest baby in the class. The instructor's son, Dane, is 7 months. (He'll be the acrobat for sure!) The other baby was only 4 months old and she rode around in a sling and slept through most of the class.

Sophia really enjoyed having her foot painted and smashing it onto the paper. She seemed really intrigued by the whole process. The inward foot painting you see here is the Sophia Alexander modified version. The other babies were both able to position their foot straight up and down, but Sophie's piggies were too long and stuck over the border. The instructor commented that Sophia's feet were the first ever in 5 years to "stick over the edge". EEK!!! Do you remember the size of her feet at birth?
