ANNELIE: I drew you a picture, Mom. It's you and Dad.ME: I love it. Looks just like us.
ANNELIE [inspecting her picture]: Yeah, it DOES look just like you! I'm going to put it on the fridge to show Gracie when she gets home.
[sticks it on fridge, admires work]
Wow. I'm pretty sure Gracie won't even know I drew it.
[looks at me VERY seriously]
It's so good Gracie will think YOU drew it, Mom.
------------------
Hee hee, my kiddo cracks me up whilst flattering the both of us, and I'm not going to say I don't love that ('Cuz I do)
Annelie is a pretty fantastic artist, if I do say so myself. I'm quite a fan of her emo graphic novel-style art.
I get hundreds of little emo-kid ink drawings a day.Hundreds. Literally. This kiddo draws morning, noon, and night.
Move over, Edward Gorey - Annelie Hopkins is on her way!
xoxo,
Adorable!
ReplyDeleteYou look great in pink lipstick!
The hair! Oh my, I love her pen work. Also Gracie's use of colour is sublime
ReplyDelete:D haha, thanks!!
ReplyDeleteI love that your girls are artistic just like you... it will be fun to see how they progress over the years, yay! :)
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm going to try this again. Just to prove your blog doesn't hate me. Annelie and Amelia would love drawing stuff together :) Merrick is getting the drawing bog too though all of his people look like bubbles with limbs and vacant expressions.
ReplyDelete*like!*
