The Pleasantness

Last evening, for once, our "piranha hour" was amazingly peaceful. While I cooked dinner, the boys cheerfully sat at the kitchen table and contentedly did their "work." It was great! Nobody fell off his tricycle and needed kissing and consoling...nobody argued about who was playing with what toy first...no bouncy balls or little cars went under the couch and needed rescuing by me...just happy creative activity.

~ Josiah filling in a math chart -- he told me he wants to be "the best at math and know everything!"
~ Josiah's finished math chart, and an airplane he drew on his drawing board
~ David drew this, then announced: "I made a boy." -- this is the first time he's drawn anything resembling a person (or told us that he was trying to do so) -- I can definitely tell it's a boy, can't you??? :)
~ David drawing a second boy -- an upside down boy, this time

David's drawing is a classic 'first man' -- just a circle for a head, no arms and legs coming straight out the bottom. Isn't creative development fascinating?
