The Strolling Artist

When I met up with John and Genevieve this evening, she had her dolly stroller. The stroller had no doll or stuffed animal, but two blankets - Greeenie and Pinky-Pink. In the storage compartment were two scarves. Gigi told me, "Greenie's blanket is purple, and Pinky's blanket is yellow---- and Greenie is my blanket." I laughed. Blankets have blankets? She did not understand why I found this amusing.



At Staples, Genevieve told me she was shopping for a pink bag. Instead, she got to pick glue sticks and beginner scissors. As soon as she got home, she started working on her art. She continued with cutting fringe on sheet after sheet of paper. When it was time for a family walk, she said she wanted to take the stroller. I assumed she meant her doll stroller. Wrong! She said the "purple stroller that you push." She then informed us that she would be taking paper, scissors, a black marker, a yellow marker, and an orange crayon to work on her art in the stroller. She was busy the entire walk.

She kept referring to herself as an artist "like Aunt Lizzy" and pointing a toe; dramatic ballet style. Is this something Aunt Lizzy does?
