Lisa laughed as her daughter made a mess with the purple paint. She had set up a paint set for the little girl. She hadn't taken well to kindergarten so her mom had set up a paint set in the living room. After several pages of handprints and small shapes, the girl was starting to get into it. Her small hands were covered in green as she started making grass along the bottom of the page.
Taking some yellow, Lisa made a big sun on the corner of the page. Her baby girl beamed at her and started going after the blue. Jisoo sat down next to her and wiped the green off her hands. "That way the sky will be really blue," she told her daughter. Their daughter nodded, pigtails swinging around as she carefully dipped her fingers into the blue paint. She started making the top of the page a bright sky blue, both of her moms watching with a smile. Jisoo dipped her own finger into the pink paint and made a rose on the side of the page. Lisa's eyes drifted over to her wife, curious about what she was making.
Jisoo made a red tulip, a yellow sunflower, and a purple lavender next to the rose. Carefully, she made an orange lily between the sunflower and lavender. Lisa smiled and tapped her daughter's shoulder. "Look, sweetie," she the little girl. The five year old's eyes went to the figures her mama made. "Look, it's us and Aunt Jennie and Aunt Rosie."
The little girl marveled at the flowers. "Am I the orange one," she asked Jisoo. The woman nodded and dropped a kiss on her daughter's head. Her eyes went to her wife over their child's pigtails.
Jisoo glanced back down and made a grey bud next to the lily. Lisa furrowed her brows in confusion. Jisoo smiled tentatively and shrugged as if to ask, 'What do you say?' The Thai woman's eyes went wide and her hand reflexively found Jisoo's arm. She nodded frantically back at her wife and pulled her into a side hug.
They let go, both of them hugging their daughter's thin shoulders. Lisa mouthed, "I love you," over tall pigtails, making Jisoo grin and blow her a kiss.
"I love you too," she mouthed back.
