Anatomy Lesson

Lately Alice has been into drawing.  The amazing thing to me is that her drawings are now recognizable.  Gone are the colorful scribbles of her modern period.  Last night we did some drawing after dinner while Daddy gave Angela her bath.  I decided to make an Easter basket filled with colored eggs, which inspired Alice to draw the Easter bunny.  Because Alice cannot do anything silently, she dictated to me all the steps that she was following.

She explained how she needed to make an oval for the body, ears, teeth, legs, arms, and a belly button.  Belly button?  I looked up to see her place a dot in the middle of the bunny's oval body.  I don't know why but this has me still chuckling.  Actually, as I write this blog entry, Alice has drawn another Easter bunny complete with belly button.  I guess she has entered her navel period.
