many many houses

Ellie has a lot of stick-to-it-ness (does that make sense?)  when it comes to doing random past times. This started at a young age. The first pastime I can remember was puzzles. When she was two she would work on puzzles for hours every day. The things she has chosen to do for hours has changed over the years. It was drawing people for a while. They easily numbered in the hundreds possibly thousands covering notebook after notebook. Then laying out outfits on her floor. Matching different pants shoes and shirts and skirts together. Sometimes she would be in her room for so long I would have to check to see if she was still alive. Then came the writing phase. We are still in full swing with this one. She gets a notebook and for a couple hours she will write words. Following me around the house asking me how to spell things. I guess she has learned to mulit-task her random pastimes.  Now along with writing words she draws houses, colors them and then cuts them out. I really should have kept a grand tally on how many so far just for fun.  This is Ellie with all her beautiful houses. She did these all in one morning. She has been on the house drawing kick for about a month now and so many many houses have been drawn.  


This house drawing lady also got  a cute new hair cut.

Oh Monica...she sounds like an amazing, creative little girl. I love, too, how you and your home just breathe creativity. She's a beauty from her little mini Monica looks to her stick-to-it-ness.
