Happy Thanksgiving!

I taught Avery how to make a picture of a turkey by tracing her hand, and she decided she wanted to make one for Nemaw and one for Mimi. So after drawing the first turkey, I encouraged her to color the feathers different colors. Then I asked her if she wanted to give it a face. Finally, I said, "Why don't you color its body brown?" She looked at me for a second and then colored an area below the turkey brown.

Next, we made one for Mimi, going through the same steps. Again, I asked her, "Do you want to color its body brown?" She hesitantly took the brown crayon, paused and gave me a long look, then started to color between its legs.

As I finally realized what she was doing, I almost died laughing. I had forgotten that Avery thinks her "body" is somewhere in her bottom area! What a strange request she must have thought I was making, asking her to color the turkey's "body" brown!

I hope your Thanksgiving is filled with just as much love and laughter!
