Josie at Work

                                                                            


This was Josie's own idea. She asked me a bunch of questions about what I liked and then wrote down the answers. Her spelling is a tad idiosyncratic, and she reverses some letters now and then.

                                                         

Favorite food-Bread; favorite animal-dogs; favorite thing to do-reading; favorite place-farm; favorite person-Josie; favorite plant-lavender; favorite place to spend time-home; favorite drink-water; favorite season-spring; favorite insect-spiders; favorite color-green; favorite shape-spiral; favorite piece of furniture-chair.

I'm wondering if this was inspired by her teacher or someone encouraging children to reach out to their elderly relatives. 

I love how she spelled spider.

                                                     


Speaking of idiosyncratic, check out these trees,
And note the division between the sky and the sun.


This sky/sun thing is a new trend in her art.

What a sweet and clever little girl.

Such a smart cookie that one! Love the trees and changed sun/sky. It means she thought of a better way, for her, to depict it! Cool!

It does sound almost like a teacher's suggestion, and if so it was a good one. She's seeing you as an individual with your own preferences. I'm not sure many kids see their grandparents that way -- but then most children don't have their grandparents so actively involved in their upbringing. Josie is a fortunate girl.
