Dear Tiny,

It's Dad's birthday soon and I got him an early present this year... a cool painting! It's kind of abstract, but he liked it a lot when we saw it at a gallery in Kenosha earlier this summer. It reminds him of ideas, so we hung it right over his desk.

One of the things that strikes me as awesome is that you're going to grow up knowing this painting. I want you to know and appreciate art (and maybe even make us some one of these days!). There are so many museums here in New York and we'll be sure to take you when you're a little older. I went to the Brooklyn Museum a few years ago and they had little cards for kids to walk around with. It was kind of like a treasure hunt; kids looked for the details on the cards in the paintings in the room.

What a cool way to engage kids at a museum, huh?

Love,
Mama
