When I was younger a local news channel partnered with McDonald's for a color the weather contest. Each time we ate at McDonald's, I would color the weather in hopes that weatherman Steve Mumm would show my masterpiece during the news and I could win a free Happy Meal.
When I was 8, my dream came true. A terrible drawing of some thunderstorms got me my 15 minutes of fame. And a Happy Meal.
Fast forward 22 years.
Sometime before Thanksgiving Zoe's grandma went to the credit union. In her trip there she learned they were hosting a coloring contest. This wasn't just any contest, they had a toddler section. In hopes of Zoe finding the same satisfaction of winning, my mom brought home a picture of a black and white turkey.
Each day for a week, she would put it before Zoe during their many coloring sessions. Because Zoe likes to usually only use one color per session, it took the entire week for her to complete the masterpiece. Really, can you rush art?
Apparently the answer is no. Because Zoe won 1st place amongst the toddler crowd.
She is playing with her farm animal prize as we speak.
I couldn't be more proud of her. Maybe tonight we should cash in my free Happy Meal and celebrate.
