Representative art!

Nate has been going through one of those big jumps kids do.  Usually it's hard for me to define exactly what the change is, but this time it's easy.  Art with meaning!  He's drawing things:  himself, a bird, me.  He's got a specific idea for what he's doing, even if it's not at all apparent to anyone else.

He's drawn other things that are more easily decipherable, but this one is my favorite so far:

Now this may look like a heart surrounded by circles, but not according to Nate.  He had me help him draw the heart.  Then, starting in the lower left hand corner and working generally counterclockwise, this is what he drew:

Owen

Me

My hair (it goes all the way around my head)

My bottom

My legs (the two lines above my head)

My shoes

His hair

His shoes

    and then across the top of the heart

His nose

My nose

Owen's nose

Gramma's nose

Munner's nose

His comment on seeing this hung up later:  "I dwew a wot of noses!"
