Her First Self-Portrait

Genevieve was so excited to present to Daddy her first self-portrait. She said, "It's me!" and shared with us all the details, her hair bow, her hair, and her ponytail.

She showed us all the face parts - eyes, nose, mouth, and pointed out the skirt, legs, and shoes. Arms and hands were skipped completely. What would Freud say? Is she not held enough? Does she have an aversion to touch - or just too many hair details to bother with hands?

She also drew many butterfly pictures, and a picture for Paul and Med-o-lee's cat who is not feeling well. Then drawing morphed into playing doctor, which as usual meant I became the nurse she bossed around. When Daddy addressed her by her pet name "Boo, " she corrected him. "Actually, it is Doctor Boo."
