Asher--the symmetry phase

Before I get to the title topic, a note that Owen STILL has not lost that tooth yet!!  It is incredible.  I think he holds it in all day with his tongue.  I have noticed when I am brushing it that he pushes against it with his tongue to keep it in place.  Now that is stubborn.  Dentist visit on Wednesday that I a counting on to take care of it :)

Now, a spotlight on my sweet Asher.  Who can't love this face?

Remember the puzzle phase?  Unlike his big brother, Asher tends to get interested in something and dive fully in, completely immersing himself in his current obsession.  It's quite fascinating to see his brain working on understanding something and toying with it over and over until one day he's done, and moves onto the next thing (hasn't touched a puzzle in a good long while).  Lately, he has started playing more with drawing freehand rather than coloring in pictures, and he is fascinated with symmetry.  I think his drawings are fun and impressive!  Here are some of his symmetry studies in order of how he made them: 

Ok, so he didn't quite get things flipped perfectly here as he was aiming for, but he got the 1 flipped!

I think it's amazing how he figures out how to make mirrored marks on either side of an axis!  Maybe that's a normal skill.  (We mom's are an easily impressed set when it comes to our own kids, yes?)

This one was given to Daddy when he got home from work and Asher made him guess what it was.  After many wrong guesses Asher finally yelled gleefully, "NO Daddy.  It's a MICROROBOT!!!"  Of course!
