Miya's Artwork

I have plagiarized the below from the blog of one of my girlfriends. I think it's so awesome (plus I'm impressed that her 4-year-old colors in the lines). When I saw this picture on Miya's church bag, it made me emotional for some reason.

From Alisha's blog:

Miya has a new best friend. Her name is Baylie. Miya loves Baylie. She is just slightly obsessed with Baylie’s beautiful brown skin and hair. A few weeks ago, Miya was playing at Baylie’s house. Baylie’s mommy had just strung Baylie’s hair in all these strands of beautiful, colored beads. Miya was enamored with them. After a few not-so-subtle hints (I wish I had beads in my hair!) Baylie’s mommy did a strand of Miya’s hair in beads. She loved them so much she kept them in for a week (no bath of course) before we made her take them out. Last week, i gave Miya a new blank scripture bag for her to decorate with fabric markers. I gave her the supplies, put on a movie and left her to it. When I came back to check on her a while later, she had drawn the most amazing artwork of her and Baylie. I was so surprised and amazed! Her drawing was so good and I was touched by the fact that she loves her new friend so much that she wanted to put her on her scripture bag--colorful beads and all! Now whenever Miya colors a picture with two girls in it, one has peach skin and one has brown skin.
