A proud father

Now that I am finally all caught up with Ellie's art, I think I will try to do weekly posts with everything from the week starting tomorrow. We'll see how well that goes. But first... this.

Just as the title of this post suggests, this week marks a proud milestone in the Thomas home. As you know, Ellie can spell a handful of words very well; cat, dog, mom, dad, Ellie, and maybe one or two more. This Wednesday, however, I stumbled upon a new word that she wrote down all by herself without any prompts or anything. Not surprisingly it is one of her very favorite words, a word that she uses with great care to make any conversation classy. Behold, its majesty!

Cat pooping

Centuries from now, when art historians look back on our day, I expect that this piece will be treasured as one of the most influential and moving works ever made.

I've created a monster

9:42 AM | Ellie's Dad |

Ellie is really excited about having her drawings on the computer, so much so that she is drawing dozens of pictures every day now! She really likes to help me scan them into the computer too. I love her excitement, but I do hope she slows down a bit so I can keep up. Anyway, all of these are from 7/6/15.

Dad and Zelda with and without balloons

This is a more complex piece. Dad is on the top showing sad dad with his balloon floating away and happy dad with his balloon in hand. Zelda is on the bottom and is also sad with her balloon floating away and happy with her balloon in hand. Her balloon is a two-headed balloon. Also, I'm pretty sure Ellie is also by Zelda with a balloon.
