She decided to draw a manger scene for me the other day. This is her picture.
Mary is the purple one. Notice her red high heels? They are the big bubbles around her feet. See the heels? They match her red dress because she is color coordinated. Jesus is wrapped in the red blanket. She coordinates her baby to her outfit too. Mary is giving him a bottle. I am not sure what the long ties are. The other two pink bottles are Mary's plastic reusable water bottles (she is green). The thing on her head is her bow. The red underneath them is a brick wall to keep them safe. The flowers are outside the brick wall because Jesus likes flowers. They are growing in the brown sand.
I asked her where Joseph was and she looked at me with her Campbell look and said "Mom, he is at work"., with her dropped r and all. She said it in her super exasperated voice like it was the silliest question in the world and I should know exactly where Joseph was.
I don't know if I should be upset about her interpretation or impressed by how much she learned. I think she may have missed a few points, but she seems to have gotten the overall pictures. Perhaps we can focus on the details as Christmas gets closer.
