Adeline had been playing an educational game on my computer and ran downstairs to ask me if I could help her find "the famous painting" on the internet so she could draw it. Luckily Abe walked in from work at that moment and she started asking him to help her on her wild goose chase. She told us that we just needed to look up the most famous artist in the world and we would find it. We started throwing out the names of some famous painters, such as Da Vinci, Van Gogh, Picasso.... but she replied "no" to all of them. Abe decided to humor her and took her to the computer. She asked him to look up "The Most Famous Artist in the World". Abe googled and of course it came up with several names. Immediately Adeline said, "No, he used primary colors like red, yellow, blue and black". So Abe googled, "Famous Artist Primary Colors". As some random stuff came up, Adeline said, "His name is Mondrian!". Abe typed it into google guessing how to spell his name and sure enough, Google corrected the name for Abe and amongst the different stuff that came up in the search was the "drawing" Adeline was looking for by the Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Apparently her teacher had talked about this artist today and Adeline really wanted to re-create it! She amazes me with the information she remembers! This is one of Adeline's "intense" qualities and I love her for it. Super persistent and knows what she wants.

She is amazing!,
Love this story, and I can imagine Adeline loves the internet, at least it's helpful when parents are not ;) Haha. (Hopefully Ingi will get to the point of being patient with us while we figure out what she's often so passionately talking about.)
Crazy...she is smart as a whip
