E likes to draw

For a while now I have been wanting to show casing some of E.'s work. Coming from someone who loves to draw, it is very exciting to see my little one starting to do so. I feel pretty proud of him. Maybe all parents go through this, but I simply can't resist. 

I found him on the steps. I believe every child needs one of this magnetic drawing boards. So much drawing without so much paper.

E. told me he drew "baby S." I love the details. The arms, legs, hair, even eye brows. It's great!

 Ok. So I have to explain the following pictures. A few months ago I had bought an art pass for watercolor classes with a neighbor. Months went by and I only used two out of ten classes. So we figured that E. could take over my pass, and go through "art camp." He really liked going to "Melissa's" and drawing. I try not to draw in front of E. because then he just asks me to draw for him. I want him to draw, but then he says, "no...you do it." But from time to time I will. On the third or fourth class, the emphasis was on learning to trace. The next morning, I found E. doodling on the dry eraser board. I drew a stick figure boy (the one on the far right, right next to E.'s head in the picture below), and told him that was him. He then asked me to draw "mommy," which I did (lady in dress next). Then I told him that it was his turn, but he was hesitant. So I guided his hand as we drew "daddy" (next stick figure) together. E. added the hair all by himself.

At this point, S. needed something that I needed to tend. I told E. to go ahead and draw baby S. When I came back, he had! The stick figure to the left was all E.! Hair, eyes, mouth, and limbs, all him. I was so impressed and E. was thrilled. "Who else, who else?" I said, "Bruno! Draw Bruno." So the little figure below baby S. is Bruno. I love it. E. talked the entire time he drew. "This is Bruno. And his eyes, and his nose...Then his legs." I was so impressed that he drew 4 legs! Lastly, E. drew in the floppy ears. Can I just say how much I love this?!

I took these pictures, but later E. drew grandma and grandpa on top. Man, it just thrills me that he likes to draw. Maybe all kids do, but as he is my little guy, it tickles me. And I think he's pretty observant. What do you think?
