Preschematic

I'm not sure how long we've been in this stage, or perhaps teetering into it, especially when I think back to the elephant party picture from a while back, but either way, lately I've seen more sophistication in Vanessa's drawings.

Below is a lovely picture of Mommy that she drew about a month ago. I don't know if there's psychology behind this or not -- I started with two legs, then she gave me eight and kept going. Am I a spider? :( Or does she think I move so fast that it seems I have many legs? :) I like the second thought. But we could dig deeper and a connect the fact that she loves to call Mommy's huge hairclip a spider when she puts it on her arm -- Mommy wears her hairclip a lot. :)
And below that is a picture of Mommy that she drew just over a week ago. I seem to have evolved a bit. She says I'm dancing. :)

Here's what she thinks Zane looks like. He even has an airship, just like Sportacus from LazyTown.

And we love to chew up carrots and spit them out. We'll actually swallow them every blue moon.
