Free Black Apple Paper Doll

Today is the perfect day to share Emily Martin's painted paper doll cutout.  I went online this morning and printed it out for Abby-Sue who was such a trooper yesterday.  Robert has been in pretty severe respiratory distress this week and we have spent even more time at the children's hospital than we normally do while we await his big airway surgery.

As a mother, I always feel a pang of regret that my oldest child has to soldier through Robert's illness with so much responsibility.  She is only three and such a helpful little thing.  It's always fun to have  something new and special to thank her for being such a good big sister.  And isn't Emily Martin a dear to share something so beautiful with us without asking anything in return?  What a kind artist.  Here is everything you need to make this paper doll. xoxo Agnes
