This is Emma's self portrait from preschool yesterday. She has such a strong desire to dress a certain way these days, and her sense of color and style truly shows in this drawing. I think it might be a masterpiece. I need to include a note here about a brief conversation I had with her last Saturday on our way to a birthday party.
Emma: Mom, I wish I had big arms.
Me: You do, why is that?
Emma: So that I could reach out and touch the sky. Do you wish that too, mama?
Me (choking back the tears): Oh, of course I do - what a wonderful thing to wish.
Emma: Really, our whole family should be able to touch the sky, don't you think?
Sigh...
