Check out the artwork Lex did this morning!  He got sent home from school with a fever so Alan stayed with him while I took Eve to the allergist.  Alan said he was working at the table while Lex colored and Lex made these drawings all on his own, unprompted or anything.  The bouncing ball (and the path it took) is cool, but the beach scene just floored me!  I have never seen him do anything so involved!  I asked him tonight who the person was and he said “Umm… the person doesn’t have a name.  Unless I give it one.  But I don’t want to give it a name.”  So that’s that.  I think this is the first time I’ve ever seen him draw a person.  And look at the face on the sun!  He was even showing Alan that the orange and blue together looked like purple.  I know kids develop in bursts, but it’s fun to watch and sometimes catches me totally off guard.  I’m really enjoying this artistic burst.
