I laughed as I pulled up these pictures. I think my girl has a flare for the dramatic. I should probably put them to good use and put her in acting classes. I think most of the time she lives in a dramatic film where she is the leading role. It kind of leaks into all aspects of her life. For example, just a moment ago she was flailing around on the floor acting as though her live was over because I asked her to do a math page out of a book that she despises. The whole, I'm dying on the floor routine. Then she was running around like she was from a mental hospital moaning the name of this same book. After that dramatic episode was over she brought me a notebook with the words "Spectrum Math is my ENEMY!" scrawled in large words over the page it was open to. I have to giggle a little under my breath how just moments later she then said, "I'm wasting my time", and picked up her math book to start working on her assignment.
I've found when it comes to school it's best to ignore the drama and she eventually figures it out, but any other time of the day it's just entertaining. I have to wonder what she's going to do when she grows up and goes to college. Will it be science, art, writing, or acting? I guess time can only tell.
A few days ago she was begging to do a science experiment out of a book I bought from one of those online parties (another story for another time :) ). We didn't get around to it during the day so she asked Paul if he would do it with her when he got home. I'm glad we waited because they had a great time together trying different colors and different amounts of baking soda. The spewing dinosaur was a hit. So far the experiment book was worth buying. More experiments to come. I hope Audrey never stops loving to learn.
