me, thinking of you, thinking of me

Lucy spends multiple hours a day doing art. It's strange because it's one of my favorite things about her right now, this creative explosion, but I think I've only mentioned it here in passing, about wanting to put her stuff on the walls.

Well, I did put it on the walls. We also have drawings on the refrigerator, sculpture on the bookshelf, and bits and pieces of her creations strewn all over the house.

This is one of my favorites right now, she drew this when I headed off to the airport for a day-trip to San Francisco and back. I told her most Mommies leave for work every day, but she is used to me being in the basement with lots of upstairs coffee breaks, so she was feeling sad. So she drew this picture:

It is me, standing under a rainbow, and in my thought bubble you can see a tiny little Lucy, who I am thinking about as I go to work. And there are hearts around my thoughts because I love her.
