This is Charlotte (with “rosy cheeks and pigtails”), sitting in the grass after walking through the mud (black footprints). She has a baby in her tummy (ha ha, eek!). The sun is in the sky, so “of course” it made her shadow right beside her (purple). The yellow person next to her is a “girl pretending to be a bird.”

This girl doesn’t really have any interest yet in learning to write letters or her name, but I’ll take these sweet drawings and her creativity over that any day.

She’s growing up.
