My little Picasso


Sophia has a new found love affair with drawing, coloring, and now painting. You can see her sprawled out on the floor here working her crayon magic. Not only does she love to color on her large floor pads and in her coloring books, she's picked a few favorite walls, toys and books to autograph. Ironically, when she sees one of these crayon marks she points and exclaims "Ohhhh!" as if somebody did something bad.

On Saturday morning I took Sophia to a "Make and Take" art class. She painted and glittered two ornaments for her mini Christmas tree. She also did a hand print painting so the teacher painted her palms yellow and then made her place her palms down on the paper. Sophia thought this was extremely cool! She's been drawing on herself with markers ever since!

Sophia got a new toy earlier this week. It's a magnetic drawing pad and she can erase her drawings and start over when she's ready. Her friend, Haley, has one and Sophia fell in love with it. Of course I had to get her one of her very own. Take a look at these videos of Sophia and Will.
