Tuesdays With Alivia

I see all of my grandchildren fairly often,

but it's becoming a tradition to spend my Tuesdays with Alivia.

She usually comes down after her morning kindergarten class.

Those are my "very low strength" reading glasses she's wearing.

I've noticed this habit started early in her young life.

If my glasses were laying close by -

she couldn't resist picking them up.

This of course led to her eventually putting them on -

especially during experiments with a disastrous material called goop -

or like yesterday when she was pretending to be my teacher.

Here she is grading my paper -

and here she is trying to think of another project for me.

My assignment was to take pictures of birds, which I did....

Junco [snowbird]

Song Sparrow




....and then draw a picture of one for her mom !!!!

This was our drawing, -

but as Alivia was leaving that evening,
I noticed the drawing had become a little more colorful.
She said her mom liked "red" birds better!
