JD the Whale

John drew his first whale on the back of an envelope. He was drawing quietly when he exclaimed, "whale!" Chris looked down at his creation and it was, indeed, a whale!
We've dubbed this whale "JD" because of the things that look like letters to the bottom right of the whale. (John frequently asks us to write his name, so I wonder if those were attempts at "J" and "O.")

Lest you think this randomly looks like a whale (eventually 100 monkeys while type Shakespeare . . .), later John drew another same-looking whale on his Valentine's picture to me and at some other drawing sessions. I think it's so neat!

  1. very cool!!!

    I have Christina's first recognizable drawing attempt, from last week. It is "Balloons."

    Child development is so fascinating!!

    Wouldn't you so much rather go through it with your kid than just read about it in a textbook at school?!
