Elise's creative mind ⇒

I am not writing enough of this stuff down. For a writer that is pretty pathetic. Let me tell you about Elise's creativity. It's bottomless. The other day she made a board game that involved rolling a dice and landing your player on a letter. The alphabet was all mixed up on the game board. You have to draw the letter and then make something out of it. For example, I had the letter T and I made it into a clothesline. Elise drew a lower case m and turned the m into the humps on a camel. She drew a Z and made it the lid of a recycling bin with a baby (new baby Grayson) putting something in the recycling. Tonight she showed me her animal rescue kit. In it was a walkie talkie, a shoelace, a spool of string (silk in case she should rescue a caterpillar who needed some silk to make a cocoon), a clear plastic container with a hinged lid (a fish bowl should she have to rescue any fish), a pen and a notebook. She is learning to loom knit. Spent every spare minute for a day making herself a scarf. She turned a sandwich bag box and packet of "cheese n crackers" into a bus by putting the cheese n crackers packet inside the box and putting lego wheels on the bottom. The cheese spot was the driver's seat, the cracker part was for the passengers. God please let her mind stay so open and if not, please don't let it be me who closes it!
