Pictures and how I feel

There are so many great and funny things about Zoë. One of them is her insatiable desire to draw. She loves it. And she often works through her anxieties, frustrations, excitements etc.. through drawing.

Once a week at preschool Zoë drew Matman. It was a basic shape of a person (i.e. the stick man). She soon bored of the basic instructions and drew princesses, girls, family and then one day she drew this:

The morning before preschool she got busted for something that I can't remember. And she went to school upset. So...this is her...being upset with her big ol' eyes looking at me and her pony tail sticking straight up out of her head.

Zoë hates bugs. H-A-T-E-S all bugs except butterflies and ladybugs. So when Alex asked the kids to go on a hike with him, the first thing out of her mouth was, "Will there be bugs". In Wyoming, there aren't many bugs. It's one of the bonuses, if not THE bonus, of living in the high desert.

Well...half way through the hike there was a swarm of mosquitoes. Alex said it was crazy. So the turned and RAN back to the car. Zoë is allergic to their bites and was swollen and itchy. Poor thing was so traumatized by it that she drew this picture for me. As you can clearly see, she is running back to the car with bugs chasing her and one on her back. So sad - yet what a funny picture! Love it.
