Art On the Go

Our children have made very large strides in their development this week. Two days ago, Ruth was showing very little interest in drawing. She would scribble a few seconds, then request a fresh paper. I will admit, I was starting to worry. Then yesterday, we were sitting down about to start another session of paper-wasting when she decided to show me her hidden talents. I drew a ghost on my paper and told her to draw one on hers. This is what she drew:

Then I drew a pumpkin and told her to draw one on her paper:


After that, a witch!


Then a sun...


And finally, a mouse...


Isn't she amazing?! The most amazing part was going from scribbles to these in one day. Yay Ruth!!

When I mentioned that our children had made strides this week, I meant it. Yes, it's true, Gareth is absolutely crawling now. I can't decide if this is good or not; tonight while Ruth was supposed to be going to sleep, Gareth slipped away and went to visit her in her room... she thought it was hilarious. I guess it's time to start keeping a closer eye on him.
