We draw every day but up til now the kid didn't do much beyond scribbling. Which drove me a little crazy because I'm obsessive like that and have spent the last 3+ years of his life trying to get him to try his hand at something representational.
Instead of people, animals, shapes etc. Reuben has spent the last year doing blobby swirls of color ( age appropriate, I know) maps and animal foot prints.
So I was surprised today when Reuben finished his map of Africa ( green blob) and Antartica ( black blob) and said hey look Mom I drew a little e. look now I'm drawing a face. And another face. It has eyes a nose and a mouth. And a mushroom growing out of the dirt. The dirt is from a giant who died and the bacteria ate up his body and changed it into dirt.
At last, drawing together is going to be a whole lot more interesting.

Exciting, and definitely worth waiting for!
He's definitely got nature and nuture on his side.
I think it's kind of fun that the first letter he drew was the first letter of his cousin's name.
Hurray! Have fun drawing together!
