I love the way kids really see what's around them, unvarnished and unfiltered. <br /><br />When a friend's nevvie was a wee lad, he drew a portrait of his mother that was a stick figure with two rather large circles on her torso near her arms. When his gran asked him what they were, he said, "Those are her big boobies." "But Mummy hasn't got big boobies," Gran protested. "Oh, yes she HAS!" was the young artist's reply. (Having met Mummy, I have to agree with his assessment.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-4576414200936992902013-05-08T06:42:55.793-07:002013-05-08T06:42:55.793-07:00I enjoyed the artwork but it was the simplicity of...I enjoyed the artwork but it was the simplicity of her statement that her whole family loves her that I found most endearing.ilonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09549380953245364444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-30774342712825122722013-05-08T06:03:33.418-07:002013-05-08T06:03:33.418-07:00I think so too, Madame.

Family life on the island is very important to her. I hope that she can keep the knowledge that she is loved by her whole family in her heart forever. Confidence and the knowledge that she is loved are the most important gifts that you can give a little girl!Madame Là-bashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16703782237948233124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-31559237345606834102013-05-07T20:54:20.144-07:002013-05-07T20:54:20.144-07:00This Nana thanks you! ;-)This Nana thanks you! ;-)materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-18732868134726608532013-05-07T20:54:03.227-07:002013-05-07T20:54:03.227-07:00:-))))):-)))))materfamiliashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16062766947897513369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-59182603436571966032013-05-07T20:53:50.492-07:002013-05-07T20:53:50.492-07:00Aw, you're welcome, Jane.

One of the best things I ever did when my daughter was little (5) was get her to draw a picture of each family member, which I put in a frame together.
