Self Portrait

I love my daughter! (in case you haven't picked up on that just yet...) Today little Renee graced my presence with her very first full and complete self portrait! She came into the computer room with a smile on her face. She was holding paper behind her back and she told me that she had made me a "special surprise".

She then handed me a wonderful picture! Initially, I was excited like I am with every drawing she does for me. There were scribbles all over the paper...then I flipped it over (she usually fills up all of the paper for me) and I realized what she had done....she had drawn a picture of herself! She looks a little like Mr Potato Head on green construction paper, and in my book that is perfect! She drew her eyes with blue crayon, her nose with red, her mouth, and her hair also makes an appearance. She also drew two legs and two arms...and fingers! (The arms are vertical black lines and the fingers are the dots surrounding the arms.)

While admiring her spectacular artwork, my sister called...I answered and while I was talking with Katie I noticed a dark blue scribble at the bottom Renee's illustrated head/body area. I thought it was clothes, but when I asked for Renee's clarification she told me it was her "belly button"!

EVEN better. :)

Here is her AWESOME drawing. I hope you like it!

I am a little giddy right now. It may be a little early to judge, but as far as I am concerned I have the next Michelangelo sitting here next to me. Excuse me while I go contact the Louvre.

he he he.
