Let's Face It

Kids like to draw. It has been fun to follow Emily's development as a little artist. Today we suggested that she try drawing a person. She answered that she couldn't, but we encouraged her to try anyway. The figure on the top left was the result. When she saw that she really could draw people, she got so excited and started drawing all kinds of people.
She asked us to help with a couple high-heel shoes and feet, but did everything else on her own. The one figure is happily tall, tall, tall because he's playing "Once There Was a Snowman". It looks like she's signing her artwork, but really she was just adding another half-dozen faces in that lower corner.

It's a good picture. She is a good little artist.

Wonderful, creative work! I like the little hands and the way she intuitively seems to know the best way to hold a marker.
