Eden's first face drawing!

Don't know why I find it interesting, but I have always noticed the first time my children draw a face.  So far Eden has scribbled, and the scribbling has taken on a more controlled quality in recent months.  Today, a face!  I didn't expect it and then there it was!  She was QUITE proud of herself :)


Then she drew 'grass', the blue stuff at the bottom, which she draws consistently at the bottom of all pictures.  The light blue squiggle on top center of the face is the hair, she tells me, so I'm not at all sure what the dark blue mane is supposed to be.  Fun.  We went to the zoo today for a field trip, so I suspect she was inspired by the hairy yak we saw.

Love it! And interested to see she is fond of blue. May all her faces be happy ones :)

Cute! I think face drawing is often the most recognizable object kids draw. Some interesting psychology there that's been studied, I'm sure. And no, I don't think it's odd that you notice when your kids do that. I also think that the kid's reaction to their first/early drawing is cute and interesting to think about. A peek into what's going on in those little brains!
