So I haven't been too "picture happy" lately, but Tess has. Sometimes Tess asks for suggestions of what to draw, but she always rejects my lame ideas. Not sure why I didn't think of the "strawberry-juice-as-an-owie"scenario myself.
In other news, both of our cars have been in the shop, we're bracing for sequestration, and Tess had a good second appointment with her brave teacher (if you overlook the fact that she majorly wet her pants during the session--isn't there something the therapist can do about that too?). The therapist wants two more sessions with Tess before she meets with me. Progress is slow.
A girl and her mommy grocery shopping. The girl has a little cart like the ones at Harris Teeter; the mommy is sporting breasts; and in an amazing stroke of luck, the little girl happens to have $5 to buy a doctor kit just like the one at Tess' school.
This very sad little girl is bemoaning an owie she just found on her leg while picking strawberries. Little does she know that it's not really an owie; it's really strawberry juice! Hate it when that happens!
This scene shows a mother bird bringing a reluctant worm to feed her babies, which are about to hatch. The calendar in the background is counting down the days to summer. There is an owl in the tree, who is sad because he is nocturnal and can't sleep.
Summer beach scene. The crab is my favorite, but the lighthouse is pretty spiffy too. Ryan taught Tess how to sign her artwork with her initials.
And a holiday scene, complete with a snowman outside the window; an angel on top of the tree; and more mommy breasts. Tess is striving for greater realism in her drawings.
This last one is a "special game" that Tess planned for FHE. Tess' new primary teachers have introduced her class to the classic game of hangman. Tess says she's very good at the game, which may have something to do with the fact that not many kids in her class can actually read.
She chose the phrase, "I love God." Her hangman is on the right.

That's one sad worm in the beak.

Not sure which is cuter: Tess' drawings or Mir's commentary! Also, speaking of realism, those are some well-articulated bare feet in one of the pix!

Lauren never draws me with breasts. She's striving for realism too. Love the drawings. You've got one talented kid there, I tell ya!
I hope you are keeping these drawings. They would make a great book!
That girl is so worried about the strawberry juice, she didn't even notice that her other leg was amputated at some point.
Love the face on the worm!
