busy work

She even did some of her own drawing on there as well. She said she drew a dragon all by herself and it did kinda resemble one. 🙂

Atira got into the washable marker container all by herself and decided to use her skin as a canvas! There was ink all down her legs, her arms, on her palms and the soles of her feet.
