Creativity

Katie was painting a piece of wood that was going to be a sign for her bedrooom door. She was using lots of colors and somehow, she decided it looked like a butterfly. She did her best to make it look just like that. When I saw how hard she was working, I said "wow, you are very creative." she looked at me with a confused expression. It was then that I realized she did not know what that word meant. I explained in child-like terms... I said that it meant she was using her imagination and there was lots of extra stuff there.

later on that day, Jack was telling an obvious lie about his day at school. Katie laughing said, "Jack, Are you trying to be creative?" It was too perfect. Guess I didn't explain very well. His using his imagination was more of a lie than creative, but still adorable none the less. They never cease to amaze me!
