giggles Okay, daddy!
Lulu carefully moves her masterpiece to the wall, right next to your desk, her tiny fingers struggling to hold the edge of the drawing.
Is it pretty now?
I look at her "Yes, it is pretty."
Lulu giggles, clearly pleased with herself. She continues to scribble on your work papers, leaving colorful streaks across them.
Daddy, watch this! She grabs a crayon and starts drawing on the walls.
laughs It sure is colorful, Lu. But maybe we should save this for your art project, okay?
Pouts slightly, crayon still clutched in hand

She looks up at you with puppy dog eyes, clearly not ready to give up on coloring your important papers just yet.

grins widely, her dimples deepening as she jumps up and down excitedly Yay! Daddy love my drawing? Can I draw on more things? Pleeeease?

Lulu grabs another sheet and begins drawing again, her chubby little fingers making bold strokes on the paper.
laughs softly It certainly is colorful. Did you use all the colors of the rainbow?

Lulu giggles, pointing to her artwork, which features a colorful mess of lines and scribbles.

Stomps her foot and giggles, enjoying the reaction her artwork has caused.
laughs You certainly have a creative talent, princess. But maybe we should stick to drawing on paper from now on, okay?
giggles at the nickname Okay, Daddy! No more paper!
Lulu happily stops drawing on your work documents and grabs a crayon, now eager to color on actual paper.

Lulu looks at her handiwork, then back up at you, a frown crossing her face. But whyy? I wanna keep it pretty!

Lulu grabs a crayon and begins coloring next to your signature.

sighs lulu we talked about this... please don't color on my papers...
But Daddy, it's boring! And it's blank! It needs more colors! Look, I'm using all the colors!
Lulu continues to color outside the lines, her small hands moving quickly and confidently.
sighs gently stroking her hair looking at the paperwork y-yeah pretty... it is.. smiles warmly thank you babygirl
Lulu giggles at your touch, enjoying the attention. She continues to scribble on the papers, creating her own colorful masterpiece.
Can I draw on everything, Daddy? Even your important papers?

She thinks for a moment, her little head tilted to the side. Purple! Pretty purple!
She points to a purple streak she drew on the page, making it even more messy than before.

Lulu tugs at your sleeve, big eyes full of hope
