At any rate, before the part of "Don't look, it won't hurt as bad. AHHHHHHH." The doctor asked about how she is doing developmentally. Turns out she is doing awesome (yay). I told the doctor she loves to draw almost all the time. If I kept all of her drawings all of Brooklyn would be covered. That might be a slight exaggeration. Okay, just all of the western half of Brooklyn.
He told me to start saving her best drawings to put in her portfolio.
In my brain I coughed, "What?! Why don't I just go type up her resume and put it on Monsters.com?"
I said, "A portfolio? What for?"
He said, "They just opened up a new high school, the Frank Sinatra High School. It specializes in the arts."
Okay, now I feel bad that I thought it was sort of funny that my daughter almost kicked him. He is really a nice doctor.
Somehow the thought that someday my daughter will be going to high school kind of . . . well . . . I don't want to think about it.
This was the book that inspired her drawing. :)

Wayne, maybe Sarah could give you some art lessons...
When W saw the picture the first time he thought the teacher had drawn it. :)
Really? A portfolio?! of her childhood drawings to get into a high school?!?!? Melanie, where on Earth are we living?
Seems a little absurd to start creating a portfolio for her high school admissions process when your child isn't even in kindergarten! But that is a really good drawing so it would be nice to keep a few of her best works in a nice binder.
It does seem a bit over the top. It is not that I don't want to save some of her stuff, it is that if I did I would end up with binders full of her best stuff. Half of it is on lined paper (because it is much easier to carry around a cheap notebook than a ream of paper). Thanks for your comments. :D
