My little Monet

Lydia completed her first painting project at Miss Gay's house the other day. Naturally Derek and I think she's a regular {insert famous abstract artist name here}.

It's just fun to see how much she is growing and the new things she gets to try.
With things like this, though, I wish I had seen her doing it myself. Would it be too much to ask for her pre-preschool teacher to photograph her every move? Maybe.

At least we have the finished product, which of course earned prime real estate on the fridge.


When she's not at school, we've been having all kinds of fun here at home. We took full advantage of last week's warmer temperatures by making several trips to the park.

Hidden Valley Park

Tonaquint Park

Cottonwood Cove

She's also enjoyed playing in a box. Seriously, it's amazing how long this entertained her.
