It doesn't fit with the thread's brief of "self-expression" either. Except later when she just drew bunnies all over the newspaper.

Oooh, I've got one of these where Abba really surprised me recently by copying the design on my tshirt, but it doesn't turn up well in photographs because it's thin pink crayon on white paper. I'll have to remember to try and scan it in this weekend.

little guy is taking some stabs at spelling ("squeak" and "violin"!) and he likes to draw things like bugs and pigs pouring milk into cups.

It is really, really great when someone comes up to our kids and says "Can you sing me a song?" and they start singing Ode to Joy in almost-intelligible German.

My two-and-three-quarter-year-old has begun punning and making up jokes. Sample quips:
[We pass some tulips]"I have tulips, daddy. [points to mouth] On my face!"
[Partner is telling her story of how, before we owned them, our cats were strays rescued from a nearby car park.]"No mummy - they were rescued in a cat park!"
[She's having toast for breakfast]Partner: "We need to go to the post office, to post these letters."Marin: "We could post them in the toast office!"
I mean, okay, that's not "genius", but.

MSM decided to make her own homework the other evening. Took a blank piece of paper, wrote out the instructions, wrote out some examples of how to do it, then did it, on the other side of the paper. I guess the assigned homework was unsatisfying, like Monday/Tuesday crossword puzzles

to me this is a fairly obvious reworking of picasso's "las meninas" series of paintings, for example

which of course were in turn versions of the velasquez painting:
