New Discovery

While I was in America, some friends of mine picked up a chalkboard/dry erase board for me really inexpensively (10 TL). I had planned on buying one for J for her birthday coming up at IKEA but it was going to cost 5 times that. So, these friends graciously delivered it to my house and it was waiting when we arrived. Doing "school," we sometimes use it to practice number writing and just plain drawing. Well, imagine my surprise when J informed me that she drew a picture of our family on the chalk board. Now, this may look like a simple drawing of an all most four year old child but I believe it is a huge developmental stage. Her drawings of us actually had legs, eyes, mouths, and her picture of me had a round tummy for baby Kaleb. I was impressed. This was the first time she drew her family that didn't look like scribbles and I thought I would share it with you. I wrote the names of each family member as she told me who was who.

A funny thing, while drawing, J asked me if I thought her head was big and, of course, I told her no. So she ended up with the smallest head of them all! Enjoy your day!
