We were on the paint isle at the store the other day and Aida started collecting paint samples as usual. She had an array of colors and insisted that she needed all of them. When we got home she told me she need tape and some ribbon so she could make the paint samples pretty. She immediately went to work. She poked out the hole at the top and had me tie a bow through it. Then she put a piece of clear tape over the bottom, she was pretty proud of herself. after dinner she announced to everyone that she had a craft for us to do (I'm not kidding, she did it all on her own) she got everything out and started explaining in detail how to do it. She kept pointing to her example saying look at mine, this is how you do it. She and Hailey were having so much fun, then they realized that the tape on the paint made it so they could use dry erase markers to write on it. That is what the did the rest of the night. Sweet 4 year old Aida came up with a craft all on her own and turned it into something that was completely useful for her and her sister. What a fun day!
