Art

Nora Lee has been spending a lot of time drawing all of a sudden. As of last week she began spending hours and hours in her room listening to books on CD and drawing. The first day she listened to the entire novel of The Wizard of Oz and got about halfway through again the next day. I immediately went to the library to stock up! She is currently listening to the Little House in the Big Woods series, the Charlie Bone series, and Charlotte's Web.

Many of her pictures are of people with long dresses and lots of circles or shapes on the dress. This picture reminded Matt of a Gustav Klimt piece.

Potions

Last night Nora Lee was having trouble falling asleep because she was afraid. At one point she began crying and calling for me after being positive that one of her dolls was turning its head and staring at her again and again. She told me that she asked the doll to stop and it wouldn't. She said she wanted to remove her imagination and asked if we could please do a spell. I told her we could do some magic in the morning that would keep the good parts of her imagination and get rid of the bad parts. I removed the doll from her room and comforted her back to sleep.

This morning she got up and put on her witch attire. She happily did her spells and in the process, accidentally dyed her hands bright pink. I suspect it will take days for her hands to return to a normal color.
