Queen Savanah

My daughter likes drawing, although it's difficult because she does it without being able to see what she's already drawn on the page.  Keeping her place has got to be such a challenge.   She's getting more legible with her writing.  For instance, today during music therapy when Chelsea brought her two-year-old daughter, Ella, my daughter drew this about the things they played during the session.  

The first is a castle, which is brown.   She doesn't understand that she's drawing over her own words as she knows that colors can be underneath words on pictures.  It's a hard thing to explain.   This castle has "Queen Savana", "Princes Ela" and "King Chelse"

This picture has a chicken at the top with the word chicken below it.   The chicken isn't the air so much as in the yard and this is an overhead view.   The castle is labeled and the king has a crown on.  His head has come off, which is what she meant to draw, interestingly.  I didn't get the details.   Ella, is over to the left and there is a bug flying she's looking at.   Not bad for not being able to see what she's drawing. 

The Big Boy Update:  My son decided he didn't want to call to talk to us while he is with Mimi and Gramps, because he wants it to be a surprise when he gets home.

The Tiny Girl Chronicles:  My daughter is reading a long book for school.   The main character was complaining about school and said, "school doesn't help with real life."  My daughter said to me, "she's totally right!"
