So…I’m going to go all Proud Mama on you today, and share a few drawings my son has done lately. This one is from about three weeks ago titled:
Little Tiny Baby Daddy with a Beard
This one is from two weeks ago, titled: Daddy and Baby (my son refers to himself as Baby)
and later that week:
And this one, from last week. We can’t remember what my son referred to it as, but we named it: Spotted Green Bean (ignore my husband’s drawings)
To witness this sort of progression in his drawing, in such a short time, has been incredibly exciting. Recognizable figures! With limbs! Lately he’s been obsessed with markers, greatly prefers them over crayons, but he’s also been warming up to and experimenting with this gorgeous set of colored pencils, a gift from Santa:
Yup. He’s a Lefty.
Isn’t it fun watching this aspect of kids development?
The other day he started drawing this series of harsh, controlled zig zags and I had to clamp a hand over my mouth to squelch my squeals. I know, I know, I’m a total nerd. I might actually explode when he starts writing numbers and letters.

Holy amazeballs! That is incredibly exciting! We are still at the tiny little baby daddy stage (love the title BTW) although they are usually monsters. Or someone riding a horse. This is just too cool!
Vinny just draws balloons. I’ll probably scream when he tries to make a person! Way to go lefties. My grandmother, father, mother, myself, Rocco and Luca are all lefties!!! Vinny bucked the trend and went to the dark side like daddy
Lovely pencils btw.
Oh, I get you, Mama! Since the day Adeline was born I couldn’t wait til the day she started drawing those adorable people with arms & legs coming out of their heads. And letters — that is really freakin exciting!
