Self-Portrait

If this isn't art, I don't know what is. Look closely: it's Madison's very first self-portrait. Look at the chin, eyes and sweeping hair. Such a strong jawline on this image too. Seriously, Madison drew this entirely on her own - and then handed it to Daddy and his friend Josh. We asked, "who is that?" And she said, "me!"

On another completely different front, our family plans for St. Patrick's Day in the evening got postponed until Monday - but that worked out fine, actually. We'll still have fun on St. Patrick's Day, and then celebrate it later with Ye-Ye and Nana next Monday with our traditional Irish festival at their house.

The way that this worked out for Madison in a unique way is this: there was a ballet class for children who Madison's age. It starts tomorrow evening, on St. Patrick's Day. Now that our evening is free, we can attend the class with Madison. This should mean so much to her - she's already twirling about. She's a little ballerina girl, and we can't wait to see her dance and smile so radiantly.
