I Made a People!

The pictures didn't show as well as I was hoping, but these are pictures of Joey's "people" that he drew today. I know this will sound lame, but Joey has always been a little behind on his drawing skills. He just has never shown much intrest in putting pen to paper. Don't get me wrong. I don't think he's 'slow' by any means, he's just a little behind what most kids his age are in this department, but still well within 'normal' parameters. Well today, for the first time, he brought me some paper and said "Mom, I made a people!" He was SO proud of himself! And they really looked like people! I love this little guy.

I find it interesting that in all 3 pictures, the people have a head, eyes, mouths, stomachs, and legs, and of all things - a heart. He put a heart in the center of each stomach. Not all of them had arms. Apparently he sees a heart as more important than arms! How neat this little guy is. One of them had another circle next to the heart in the stomach and I asked him what it was - he said it's me with a baby in my belly!! LOL - I most certainly hope he's not right! I am so proud of my little guy. Here are the pictures of his pictures. YOu have to turn your head to the right and maybe if you can make them bigger then you can see them.
