	.eti says: This is really great. Does she have nail polish on one hand, not the other? Does the white bit indicate that it's shiny? Great! Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
	wardomatic says: She had nail polish on both hands, but I guess she chose to show it on only one hand. Yes, the white indicates a shiny surface -- fun, huh? Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
	dogwelder says: I think it wasn't a decision to not put polish on the right hand. It looks to me like she's right handed, and she had more time to work on the left hand. Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
	Amy Mebberson says: Wow, that's a great little eye she's got, Ward. The shapes and proportions are spot-on! The ribbing of her sweater and the little veins, go Ava :) Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
	wardomatic says: Well, I'm probably thinking that she traced the outline of her hands, then added in the details. The sweater was not originally part of the tracing -- she added this in since she was wearing a sweater. The details! I know, it's crazy! The ribbing and veins knock me out. Posted 5 months ago.

	Amy Mebberson says: I just noticed something else - she knows CURSIVE! at SEVEN! I didn't start learning that until the third grade. Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
	wardomatic says: Same here, Amy! Ava suddenly decided one day to learn cursive -- she had Andrea write up the alphabet in cursive, both capital and lower case letters, and she'd practice time and time again. She's disciplined -- much unlike her father. Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
	.eti says: We learned cursive in first grade. A bit crazy, really - within a year we learned miniscules, capitals, then cursive miniscules and cursive capitals. Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
	anatomist says: this is amazing! ava is one talented and skilled little girl. nicely done! Posted 5 months ago. ( permalink )
