Artist in Residence!

Dear Elzora,

On Thursdays you don't have school and you spend your days at home with mama and Starla having all kinds of fun. Well this past Thursday you spent a lot of time in your room. You told me that you were making a picture for papa called "Papa's Eyes" or "Papa's Ögon" in Swedish. You actually worked on the picture throughout the day and you even emptied out your Lego bin so that you could finish the drawing. Starla and mommy just loved watching your creative process. You were very, very passionate.

I am so glad the we decided to paint one of the walls in your room with chalkboard paint. What a nice papa you have. He did all of the painting and made your room so beautiful. No wonder you made him this picture.

I look forward to watching you grow as an artist and as a person.

Love you.

Love,
Mommy
