Desmond, Our Little Van Gogh

Des is pretty good at drawing and I have been meaning to take pictures of his artwork but had not gotten around to it until now.  Compared to Des, Stella did not draw this well at this age.  Here are a few examples of his work.

This first picture was drawn back in April and it is a drawing of Roo, our neighbor's cat.  A few days after Des drew this picture, I was complementing him on how great of a job he did, the perfectionist in him looked at the drawing and said, "But I didn't draw the stripes on Roo".  Roo has orange stripes.

This is his drawing of a pig...notice the snout...

This is a person....

This is the sun, which also has a snout :)...

In other news, he also knows all of his ABCs...he can recite them and correctly pick them out even if they are not in order.  He also knows his numbers up to 15.  He can count up to 15 and correctly pick out individual numbers up to 10.  He also understands the concept of counting will count things out loud.  My little boy is growing up!
