Zoe the Artiste...

Zoe wants to DESPERATELY learn to write her letters. So, today, at her art table, we got started. She wanted me to show her how to make an A--I did, and she traced it. Then, she wanted me to make others, and she was able to do it herself. Unprompted, and without a model, Zoe then wrote a T (she asked me to make a B, but decided SHE would write the T)....As Zoe says, "Check it out!"

Then, she had enough, and decided she wanted to draw people. Up until today, that meant WE would do the drawing and she would just scribble. I asked if she wanted me to show her how....I showed her a simple smiley face, and gave her the language "Draw a circle, make the eyes, nose, and mouth." Here's the proof...

This is me, apparently.

This is Peanut on the left, and "Peanut Daddy". If you look, you can see Peanut's ears on either side, and a tail. :)

This is the best...This is a picture of "A" at daycare. Anyone who knows her knows that she has a MOP of black hair--seriously, the most hair I've ever seen on an infant. I reminded Zoe to remember A's hair, and she said, as she was drawing, "I can't forget her ponytail". It's not too far off from the real kid. :)
