Last week Riely presented me with an piece of art she had spent much time working on. Not only did it involve coloring with various markers, but it also was embellished with a decorative scissor border on top. Needless to say, she was very proud of her masterpiece, which she entitled Field of Roses:
It's lovely, don't you think?
And if, like me, you happen to turn it upside down...
...you just might start to giggle profusely and realize a more appropriate title might be Attack of the Swarming Male Organs.
It's moments like these - moments that simultaneously make me realize the creative genius burgeoning in my young daughter and yet also make me laugh like a 12-year old boy - that make the pain of labor totally worth it.
