"How-To" By Lainey

So, Miss Lainey has watched a YouTube video or two, mostly "how-tos" explaining how to make Rainbow Loom bracelets and how to style her doll's hair. Well, this has carried over into her regular life. Anytime she begins a project - whether it be a crafty project, a bracelet, a hairstyle…anything…she narrates it, as one would do when narrating a how-to video. (She'll also sometimes speak as if she's a teacher…teaching her "students" how to do something.) It's sort of hilarious to observe. She happily talks to herself, narrating the steps as she goes along, admitting her mistakes when she makes one, and acknowledging that she does it one way but someone else might do it another way. 

Example. When styling her doll's hair, she might say, "First, you get this piece of hair and take it over to this side. It's okay if it’s longer than the other pieces. It'll be okay. Then, you do this. Oops…mine is is a little sideways…but that's okay if yours does that, too." She'll talk to herself throughout the whole project, narrating the steps for an invisible audience. Cracks. Me. Up. And I love that she gives herself permission to make mistakes. Her brother could learn a thing or two from her. :) 

You're a remarkable young lady, Miss Lainey. I LOVE YOU and your creative spirit!
