Through a Little Girl's Eyes

So I never got to share my amazement of what I heard from Nick's little cousin Kylie.

About two weeks ago, when the weather was nice and not dreary and rainy, I took the kids out and we were drawing with sidewalk chalk. It was my job to draw the entire family, with Kylie's input. She said that I had to draw because I am an artist, and she just scribbles. She also said that in order to draw it right she was going to order me on how. I took her orders in stride, sand here is what she said about each person.

Daddy- make him tall. Put a fish-man hat on him because it will look like floppy. Make him blue because he is a boy.

Mommy- make her short. No! Wider! and make her wear heel shoes. Make her orange cause she likes it.

Kylie- I want to be pink! And I have long straight hair. I am shorter than mommy, and I have a pretty dress because I am a girl. (she is the only one wearing clothes at this point)

Brother- He is green because he is wearing green now. Make him really short because he is a baby. He can wear shorts and sneakers, not sandals, he doesn't have sandals.

Sister- She is short, and purple. The same tallness of Kevin. She has crazy curly hair, like way out here! (points to a piece of pavement about two feet from the head)

Me- You have to be in my picture too! You are aunt Jess! You are white, because you were an angel sent to mommy. You are a lifesaver. You play wii fit, can you draw wii fit?

Nicky- (due to my suggestion) I guess he can be there too, but he lives in the basement with you. he can be yellow. And he has to wear a crazy color shirt. Like totally crazy, because that is what he does.

I think she is adorable. We didn't do the cat like she wanted because I told her I didn't know how to draw one very well. The drawings finally washed away and now she wants me to go back out, because her family is "missing" I think she brightens my day daily, and I love her for it.
