This is Why We Call Him Baby Picasso

Our youngest son is now 3 years & 2 months old and for as long as I can remember he's been drawing on himself, drawing on him self some more , drawing on my collectibles (AKA my junk) or oh, just about anything including the walls.

Nowadays he's pretty content with drawing on his Lightning McQueen Magna Doodle or in coloring books. And, I've got to say that he has turned into quite the budding artist.


Behold, baby Picasso's latest masterpieces...

Patrick Star from Sponge Bob Squarepants



Bub the Cat from his Nanny & Papaw's House



So, what do ya think? Will we be seeing his drawings in museums or what? ;)

I'm Not Potty Trained But I Sure Can Rhyme

Our 2 year old son has been surprising us a LOT lately with his new found skills.

He spends several hours sitting quietly talking to himself and just drawing. Yesterday he drew the most perfect happy face. Well, perfect to me since I am his Mother.

He's also been rambling on about rhymes. He talks incessantly about something rhymes with something else. For example, yesterday I caught him saying, "Hammer rhymes with bammer and Spongebob rhymes with kungebob". And, sometimes he makes up words like "kungebob" but they do seem to rhyme nonetheless.

At first I thought he was merely copying his older brother until he started making up his own rhymes.

When our other son was this age, he didn't seem to be too interested in rhyming or drawing. He spent a lot of time with puzzles, cars, and play tools.

It's amazing how different two siblings can be.

Hey, maybe I'm that Mom who thinks her kid is special even when everything is just NORMAL and I'm sure I'll continue thinking that for the rest of my life because that's what Mommies do.

Soooo, What are your 2 year olds doing? Is this a result of having an older brother?
