A is for Avery the Artist!

Avery is very talented at drawing. She loves to draw and probably spends a couple hours a day coloring. I like to buy her blank notebooks instead of coloring books sometimes because she can get more creative this way. She's really into drawing faces and I'll give her tips and she really sticks to them. Like eyelashes - she's on a big eyelashes kick right now. I took a few pictures out of her current notebook to show where she's at right now. She's good - you'll see:
This one's a little more disturbing. Maybe she was really tired when she drew this one?
BTW, most of her people are princesses with crowns on their head. Sometimes they'll have earrings and necklaces.
This one reminded us of a SpongeBob head, but she insisted it was a Princess Avery:
Here's a "sad Avery" picture. Yes, those are tears.
And finally, her other talent involving her fine motor skills: Writing. Here's the card we wrote out for Merrick's birthday. I told her which letters to write and she wrote them all by herself. We didn't have room for the "a" in birthday. And the "Avery" ended up on the other side of the card, in a lighter color. But still, pretty impressive! She can write most of the alphabet now and can write several short words and names on her own without my help!

What a smarty! Bennett, too, loves to draw and write all over empty notebooks. We've gone through many. Keep up the good work, Avery!

My brother and I were cracking up with her pictures. They are adorable! Don't you love how serious they are about their work? :)
