Just a little bragging...

I just have to brag about how well Connor can draw.  His drawings really are amazing.  But of course we are going to say that.  That is what parents do.  But really.  They are.  Just look for yourself.  These are all by Connor with absolutely no help from either of us.  Actually, he draws much much much better than me.  Even Connor tells me my stick people look funny.  Which is true.  So, here you go:

He loves to draw on his magnetic drawing pads:

 

Family.  Oops.  He forgot Dylan.

 

Family  Dylan is a part of it now.

 

  Stegosaurus Dino.  I think.

  

T.Rex Dino

Some type of dino.

More family.  Just with tall legs.  That is what Connor says.

 

A ladybug.  I think.

 

A bird.  With tall legs.  Connor likes to draw tall legs.

 

So proud of his ocean animals.

 

More ocean life.

And some in color:

 

  

  

The top picture is of a dog with a leash (as Connor calls it).  I didn't even know he knew what a leash was.  Smart kid.  

Hope you enjoyed his wonderful display of artwork.  These are only a few of the many many drawings he has done in the last month or so.  Most get erased quickly after completion.  Some however, he asks me to take pictures of.  I am proud.  Of his drawings.  And of his understanding that I like to take pictures.

Another trip to the zoo...

After our second trip to the zoo this week, I keep telling Connor that we may as well sleep at the zoo with the monkeys!!! We decided to go with our friends, Cheryl, Noah, and Mady to the zoo on Thursday-it was such a pefect day! We walked through River's Edge (which we normally don't visit) to see the Elephants and Hippos, rode the carousel, had lunch, and played in the Zoomagination area. And saw lots of other animals too. What a fun day we had!

Noah & Connor loved the fish swimming around the Hippos.

More sea animal fun!

Connor wanted to ride the seal this time.

A little Picasso???

This was Connor's drawing of a dinosaur. He did this all by himself while I was in the kitchen. He came and got me to show me . He was so proud. I was to, as I think this really does look like a dinosaur. Pretty impressive, since I can't even draw a stick figure.
