Budding Artist

Emily is becoming quite an artist.  She is getting really good at drawing pictures of things that she sees.  I drew her a picture of an Easter basket on Good Friday and this was her version of the same basket.  Pretty darn good for a 4 year old.

Her writing skills are also improving.  She can really write her name very well (when she wants to).  And she can write every letter of the alphabet too.  Pretty soon we will start working on writing some new words - like mommy, daddy and Zoey.  She is even expressing some interest in learning to read and sounding things out.  Pretty exciting!

 

In these last pictures, Emily was drawing on Brody's driveway with sidewalk chalk.  The kids were getting restless so Stacey (Brody's mom) suggested that the kids have a contest to see who could draw the best Easter Bunny.  They seemed reluctant to try so I drew the first one and then this was the version Emily drew.  She won, at least in my book.
