Cutting

As has been stated many times here, Elizabeth can do a lot of things that other kids (and even her brother) can't do. For example, she is quite an expert at using scissors. She's been cutting paper for a long time now. Parker just learned last year.

But apparently she is a perfectionist too. For the last few days she has asked me to draw an arrow that she can cut out. But every time she "messes" up the arrow going off the lines and gets hysterical. Today was the 4th day this happened. She gets a little off the line and just melts down. I tried to tell her it didn't matter and it looked good and we could start over, but nothing makes her feel better.
