Perfect Corn

Since my Brown Eyed Girl has been little, she has loved to draw and color. I can not count the number of times she has sat at the kitchen table for over two hours coloring. She has done this since the time she was old enough to hold a crayon or marker. She loves art, it's in her blood.

It's in her genes...

My Brown Eyed Girl's teachers have been commenting all year about what the little artist she is becoming. Every time there is a new craft or project to make she is giddy with joy. All smiles. Arts and crafts are her favorite part of the day - socializing a close second.

She is a perfectionist when it comes to art - in a good way. She pays special attention to the directions and works diligently to complete the project so it looks exactly like the teacher's sample.

When learning the letter 'O', the kids made these cute little owls.

She was the only one to nail the face and put the little feathers on the tummy of the owl.

The most amazing masterpiece she has made so far is her ear of corn. The kids had to cut out a little picture of corn and then glue green tissue paper on the leaves and real corn kernels on the ear of corn.

This was my Brown Eyed Girls corn...

I think it's okay to be a proud momma when looking at her corn compared to the other examples from the class.

The project was meant to be three dimensional. She just REALLY made it three dimensional. 

Her teachers said they were in awe watching her glue and layer the corn kernels so meticulously. Taking her time to position each kernel just right.

They were worried what would happen when they actually picked up the project. Would the kernels all fall off? Would my Brown Eyed Girl freak out?

But they didn't fall off. And her corn hung on the classroom wall for two weeks without desinagrating.

Amazing patience.
Artistic ability.

The teachers also said they have never had a student complete this project in such a way to really make it look like a REAL ear of corn.

I told them she might just have a little more understanding of corn than the other kids do.

Thank you Iowa corn and Grandpop!
