At lunch today
Lex told me that “skunks are black and white, but the skunk in
the drawing on the blue paper over there is only black.” Then
he got out a white crayon to add some white to the skunk.
Looking at the picture you’d never know it was a skunk, but
when I looked more closely, the caption I’d written back when
he drew it in November is “A little river and a little skunk.”
I find this facinating because either he was up on a chair
reading that caption recently, or he looked at that bunch of
scribbles from 5 months ago and still thinks it looks like a
skunk! Either way, it now has the appropriate colors and life
is good again.

Grammy Lynn brought Eve a
fancy new Easter dress with matching hat, socks, shoes and
purse. Ever the little lady, Eve was very excited and got
dressed up right away. She wore the outfit for awhile and only
took it off because I wouldn’t let her use dry-erase markers in
her fancy clothes. But the hat and shoes stayed and the purse
was with her most of the day. After awhile she decided to try
on Lex’s new light-up Spiderman shoes and tromped around in
too-big shoes, a fancy hat and purse. Very silly little lady.
We will be having professional pictures taken in a few weeks.
I’m not sure what to expect from Lex, but I’m sure we’ll get
lots of good pictures of Eve!
