Focused

Mom and Dad kept the girls for us last weekend so we could help Chris' sister and hubby move in. While M&L were with Nana and Grandaddy, they went to the Frist Center for the Arts, one of our favorite field trip locations. Nana's main reason for going was to see the Tiffany glass exhibit before it closed, but the girls were focused on ArtQuest, the hands-on children's art area. They LOVE this place. Both of them are more artistically inclined than Timo and happily spend several hours painting, constructing and learning. This past weekend, one of the docents commented to Mom (who used to work there), "This little one is so SERIOUS - and focused!"

And so she is. That picture is from last week when she decided to watch birds outside and then draw them. She sat out there for about an hour, watching and drawing. What not-yet-5 year old does that? Certainly not Meggers. And her drawings ended up being pretty darn good too. I think I may have to work on art lessons for her.
