Yesterday, I let the girls watch a movie, Finding Nemo, in my room during nap time.
I know…I spend so much time griping about them not napping well, and then I willingly let them skip it. I did it in hopes that they would fall asleep quicker at night. They are having a hard time going to sleep at night, especially since it doesn’t get dark here until 10 pm.
So, anyway, they watched Finding Nemo while I walked on the treadmill and did some cleaning. I think they must have gotten bored with it near the end because they started getting pretty rowdy! I heard them from where I was working in the living room and went in to check on them.
BOTH EA and MC were having a GRAND TIME jumping on my bed, shouting, and laughing! So….movie time ended earlier than planned and I sent them to their room to lay down for a while. MC took out her doodle-pro to draw while she was on her bed.
When I went in to get them, MC said “I made a fish, Mommy”.
At first I answered her with a quick “MMMM, HMMM”, not really paying attention.
THEN I looked at her doodle and I couldn’t believe my eyes. She actually drew what looks like a whale with a hook in his mouth, eating a little fish.
I took a picture so we could save it. I’ve found that the biggest drawback to those doodles is that I can’t save their artwork. So….the digital camera comes in handy!
Take a look and let me know if you see what I saw in her drawing. Surely she couldn’t have done that by accident, could she? I am constantly amazed at the talent she often displays for art. It is going to be interesting to see how she develops and how she uses the gifts that God has given her.
Really, how they all do.
I love that as their Mommy, I get to watch them grow in to the people that God has created them to be!
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful. I know that full well.
Psalm 139:14 (NIV)

Wow! 10:00? My little one would never go to sleep, since it has to be dark for him to even try. That’s wild. She did awesome with her drawing. I bet she’ll be a great artist as she gets older!
