Two Girls “Twos” Day: Panera and Painting

Tatum had insisted on us wearing our matching overalls.

We always have to start with some type of treat, so today did not disappoint with little chippers.

It was definitely one of my favorite days because we always have a rich conversation. Today, we talked about our emotions. Tatum FEELS everything. Often our feelings can control our day, but if we can name the feeling, discuss it, then give it to God, we can not let the feeling be in charge of US. A simple feeling of frustration can escalate to more frustration to anger and then KABOOM. If at the genesis of the frustration, we can talk about it/deal with it, then it doesn’t have the power over us.

Now, back to the cookies!

Later, we were to meet my friend Cana and her son Ethan at As You Wish to paint!
I wanted to make Tatum a plate to commemorate her adoption and to have her mission statement right there for her to always see.

Here is the “BEFORE.” I’ll pick it up after it’s been through the kiln.
