Ever since she was teensy weensy, Tatum has had an extraordinary imagination. I liken it to a few things. First, I never allowed her to say, “I’m bo_ed; I don’t know what to do.” I would always say, “Figure something out and make it work!” She ALWAYS made the most fun out of the simplest of items. For example, she’d take colored cubes and make them into characters. This would last hours! Second, we have read 30 minutes a day ever since she was a baby. This definitely has helped her brain. Also, she is an only, and so she has had to entertain herself when I cannot.
Often, I find her in her room, talking to her “kids.” She is just giving them advice on life.
Bella is getting an earful here as she teaches her about Jesus.
Sometimes, she just reads to them.
And now she can truly read, so it is quite empowering.
Lately, she has been praying, “God, help me with my imagination and make it stronger.” I love her desire to expand it! Her creativity continues to inspire me.
Oh, little Tot, you are amazing. (she is wearing her “braided” hair).
Daddy and I just adore you and love watching you.
Coopy does too!
Smile! We love your mind, heart, and soul.
