Gingerbread Woman

Recently when I was picking up Presley, I noticed that her classroom window was covered with gingerbread men. I asked Presley which one was hers, and she pointed to the only gingerbread man with something on top of his head. My first thought was that she did not do a very good job cutting the gingerbread man out, and I asked her what was on top of the gingerbread man's head. She told me that her gingerbread man is a girl and that is her ponytail. That made me one happy parent, obviously.  I've always thought she was a very smart girl, but I don't think I've ever seen a side this creative and so much against the grain before. I loved it!
I asked her teacher about it the next day, and she told me that Presley drew the ponytail on top of her gingerbread woman, and afterwards, a lot of the other kids wanted to change theirs that had already been cut out, so obviously they couldn't.  I love my smart AND creative little gingerbread girl!  Pics below.

Can you see Presley's?
