Dylan had his well-child check-up this past Friday (everything is all good, holding steady at around the 10th percentile all around and totally proportionate in terms of BMI) and one of the questions asked was whether or not your child could draw a human figure. Well, we’d never explored that before, so out of curiosity, I asked Dylan if he could draw a picture of himself, and this cute drawing is what came of it!

While he was drawing, I got the play-by-play: “Look mom, I drew my head…” and then, “Oh, I have no face” followed by, “look, mom, I’m smiling!”

It’s so reminiscent of Taliana’s first drawings of people….I love the picture!

This is a picture that Taliana drew at our last weekly, pre-Music Together breakfast. She drew a picture of herself and Dylan, then added her mama, Tom, me, Dylan’s baby sister (I’m second from the left with the little thing sitting on my arm), and her baba! Taliana also drew Dylan a really nice birthday card which depicted the two of them and baby sister inside of a tent, holding a lantern, and eating huckleberries — such fond camping memories from last year with a projection towards camping in the future! So, even though the baby isn’t here yet, she is already a part of our lives.


yes, he’s a sweetie even tho’…

Tonight, Dylan tried coloring his hand-me-down stuffed animal named Isette (she’s a bear on ice skates, inherited from Auntie Christina).

Me: Dylan, are you coloring on Isette?
Dylan: yeahhh…
Me: color only on the easel. Isette’s not an easel, she’s a stuffed animal….
[no response...then starts coloring on Isette again]
Me: dyyylan. do we color on the easel…or on Isette?
[pause]
Dylan: [softly] Isette.

Oy vey.

Tom and I ran the 6-mile Wharf to Wharf while Dylan enjoyed painting at Heather and Assaf’s house.

He is really diggin’ scribbling these days!
