Josie Update

There was a Valentine's Day dance at school just for kindergarten, first, and second grades. It was awesome! I wore my new dress and danced with my friends. (We did NO schoolwork all day!)
 

Meema picked me up and we went and got ice cream again because Cynthia at the ice cream place wanted to see my dress. I had told her about it when we got ice cream on Monday and she Really wanted to see it. 

Then when we got home, there was a Valentine card with a dragon on it for me and a bag of hearts made our of different colored stones--like a dragon's hoard. My favorite is the blue one that might be lapis lazuli. I made all sorts of shapes with them.

 These are pictures I painted on Monday. I remembered to leave a little bit of white on the apple like Meema told me a long time ago. Then I decided to paint a picture of one of the orchids on the table.                                                         

First I did the little brown pot, then the leaves and flowers, and then the table and the window and the outside. Meema said she was really proud of me because drawing what you see is harder than drawing an idea. I like my picture. You can see the yellow bush that is outside and a tree.
