First Symbolic Art

So yesterday I was FLABURGASTED when Elizabeth drew THIS....I know it probably doesn't look like much to the untrained eye... so let me give you the play by play...

First she drew a big round circle, and announced she was drawing mommy--haha. Next she drew the big swooping line over the top of the circle, and explained it was hair, "looooong hair." Next she drew two circles inside the big circle and told me they were my eyes.

Anyway, this was the FIRST time any of her scribbles have actually made sense! And I was SIMPLY and UTTERLY amazed! It came out of no where and I'm just SO UNBELIEVABLY proud of this piece of art that I just had to share! And how cool that her first portrait is of me?! Ahhhh... happy tears!
