Will's Artistic Debut

Master Will has become quite the artist lately. He enjoys coloring books, but prefers to draw his own pictures on blank paper. The pictures are not always very recognizable to me, but he is quick to describe exactly what he is trying to create. His descriptions of his drawings are so funny that I have to share them--it is so cute how his mind works.

First, he wanted to draw a present for Papa. He started by making a box and drawing a bow (the little swirls on top). I suggested he draw the actual gift inside the box, and this is what he came up with:

Me: "What's inside the box?"

Will: "Those are snakes."

Me: "Ummm, do you think Papa will like snakes as a present?"

Will: "Yes, Papa likes snakes. Snakes are bootiful, Mama, they're BOOTIFUL!!"

I think we'll have to agree to disagree on that point. But this should provoke a little anxiety in those of you who will be opening gifts from us this holiday season. :-)

Can you guess what these are?:

Bats, of course!

A dotted elephant (the line across the top is a looooong trunk):

Nana and Papa's house:

At first, I thought the structure on the left was the old pyracantha bush, but Will informed me those were windows. The structure on the right is a door.

And this is a picture of Granddaddy and an elephant:

In case you're confused as to which one is Granddaddy, I will point out that the elephant again has a long trunk, and Will apparently has a keen appreciation for Granddaddy's nice head of hair. :-)

Hope you enjoyed those as much as I did!
