Special Details

One of the qualities I love about Aria is her attention to detail. When she draws, she pays close attention to detail. If she is drawing a dog, the nails, the collar with its name, the eye colour, sometimes even a flea all go unforgotten. On the last day of preschool before Christmas Aria made gifts not only for the teacher she adores, but made sure to include each of the children, even the one who visted once before and the teachers own children and husband! She decorated snowmen which had a magnet on the back of them. They weren't the run of the mill snowmen, these were each decorated as something that the person receiving them enjoyed. For example O got a monkey because he loves to play with animals, S got a ballerina because she loves to dance, L got a cowboy, J got a pirate, O got a skater, M got a real snowman, and so on.
I was amazed at the stories she told as she made each one, about that friend and how they play certain games together. She shared about what she liked about that person and how each was special to her.
What a gift she has, and what a blessing that she shares it.

*if I can find the pictures I would be excited to share them :)
