L loves "exploring."  she asked me for binoculars, so i made some out of two empty toilet paper rolls, twine, and scotch tape.  she LOVES them.  she brings them to school to show everyone and tells everyone "MY MOMMY MADE THESE FOR ME."  she brought them to the grocery store yesterday to spy for vegetables, it was awesome.  she has to hang them up in her room at night before bed so she can see them.

i have never, in my life, created something so quickly that has brought another person such joy.

OMG-this happened to me the day I took a couple of brown paper lunch bags, a marker, drew faces on them and made them into Mr. and Mrs. Pinchy. According to Ellie they're the most goddamn hilarious things EVER. I felt so proud until she  started pinching my ass with them (I did NOT show her how to do this-MY Mr. and Mrs. Pinchy pinched noses and chins,,,she kind of put her own twist on things...).

seriously, i minored in studio art. hours upon hours in the studio creating what i hoped would one day be worthy of looking at. 45 seconds with scotch tape and TP rolls and i've surpassed my entire art career in terms of effect on another person.

Who says you'll never use your minor?

[Deleted]

Lol, that's cute!

If she likes exploring, have you taken her geocaching? There's a pre-k group that goes in the park down the street from me and those kids are adorable trekking for their "treasures!"

[juliagoulia]

That's so sweet
