Lily has been sick since last Friday and we have seen a lot of this face in recent days.
I came down with the same thing a few days later and after a string of days at home, dreary weather, and my husband being out of town for a few days, the walls were beginning to close in on us.
Yesterday we got some fresh air and made a trip to the grocery and Target. I saw this foam heart craft on the isle as we were leaving Target and decided it would be something fun she might enjoy.
In true Lily fashion...she checked out all the details of the project before diving in to get started.
She is very methodical so I often get a more serious side of her when we are doing crafts.
Slowly her personality started coming out...
We made a heart for everyone in the family...I think she was missing her daddy because she kept favoring this one.
Then the smile and laughter that we see so often finally came out!
She took a break from art and had bowl of apples for a snack...
Then our dog got sick so she offered up some hugs to "help her feel better".
It was good therapy for both of us...she had fun creating and I enjoyed being behind my camera practicing with low light.
We made a banner with all of the hearts she created and she knew exactly where she wanted it...in her room.
This is the smile that brightens up my day and makes even the hardest days all worthwhile.
