Developing Creativity

Neither Brad nor I claim to have any artistic skills & do not have high expectations for our children, but would be thrilled if they do. Sydney is finally starting to "think" creatively. Tonight she put ladybug stickers on her toe nails claiming that she was painting her nails. Brad & I both thought her rather clever.


Her drawings however are still a ways away from being life-like, or are they? She is starting to paint/draw pictures that have some theme to them. I still have a painting that she did a month ago that I could look at & say that it was an outdoor scene with grass, trees, "people", and sky. I was so proud it was posted on the fridge for over a month. One of her latest pictures, did not get posted on the fridge. Can you guess why?


She says it is a camel. Hmmm, what do you think. Not only is it a camel, but it is a camel with one hump not two. She can call it what she will, but it definitely looks a little phallic to me.
