Lilly's Mermaid (age 8) Cat Joke (age 4)

 

At age 8, Lilly's drawings are getting more detailed.  She draws on a dry erase sitting beside me at church.

Silly me I drew a sail boat (top left).  

SHE DREW A FISHING BOAT COMPLETE WITH FISH ON THE HOOK!

 

I drew scales on the mermaid's lower body, silly me.  She writes "What is this?"  Then colors in the hair AND the rock!

 

I thought I'd be clever and stir up her brain juices and drew 3 seashells and a squid  just under my sailboat.  Silly me!

She drew a row of them at the bottom, complete with an anchor, balanced with large and small, and then drew a jelly fish and a mercat!

 

Silly me should just sit back and take pictures.  Still don't know what the arching thing is in the upper right hand corner, a sun?

 

 

Now, for a blast from the past.

Miss Lilly and I made Halloween cards.  This is in October of 2020, she's 4.

Lilly can, albeit sloppily, write her name.  So, I had her copy MOM and DAD onto the face of envelopes, then we traced and glued to paper some pumpkins and ghosts.  The jokes she understood are these:  

What's a cat's favorite color?  Purr-ple.

What's orange and fast?  Super Pumpkin!

What's a ghost's favorite game?  Peek-a-boo

She learned the cat color joke on her own a couple weeks ago and just laughs and laughs at her own joke, it's sweet.
