Day 159: Scripture Picture

Our bishop had challenged us to read the Book of Mormon in 6 months as a family.  This makes for long scriptures studies for a 4 year old.  To keep Clara entertained (and listening) we let her draw pictures of things we're reading about.  This is her interpretation of King Amlici and his followers....

Day 158: Head Band

My grandmother sent this headband to Clara in the mail, and Clara LOVES it.

Day 157: Art

All of these are Clara's originals...

Day 156: Clara's Take Over

Clara has decided that to take over our bedroom during the day.  She'll bring in her "art supplies," including the table and chair for her to "work" all day long.

Day 155: Picture

Clara was reading her Friend magazine during church today and saw the pictures.  She decided she wanted to draw the one in the middle on the right.  I think she did a pretty good job considering I told her that I wouldn't help her because I wanted to listen to the speakers.

• The fact that I refused to help her caused a little bit of drama.  There were some things she didn't think she could draw.  At one point, I had to take her out of the room because she was having a very loud melt down.  As we were talking about things out in the hall, she looked at me and said, "I just want to go home and be with Daddy!"  (Jeremy had stayed home from church because he was sick.)

Day 154: New Pool

We bought this pink pool about a month ago, but hadn't set it up yet.  Clara was so excited to finally be able to swim in her pink pool.

Day 153: Smiley Dinner

Clara insisted on me making her dinner plate look like this tonight.  Yummy eggs and banana!
