My 12yo made soap this morning (oat, lavender, gold leaf), bath salts, a candle (paraffin, crayon, smooth stones, gold leaf). Found something she could use as a bath shelf. Sanded it for 3hrs, then stained it. Scrubbed tub. Baked banana oat chocolate cookies.

I can't even.

Sometimes this child just chokes me up. I don't even know how to handle this.

She may not love being in lockdown, but she's always got a project.

Oh yes, and she also blocked up the overflow drain so she could fill the tub up higher. I found this out when I asked her something and she showed up with a screwdriver in hand.

Always, always investigate when this child wanders into view holding anything like a screwdriver.
