Our Little Artist

Liam has become quite the little artist lately. He loves to draw and we (and his teachers) are always amazed at how good some of his drawings are. Even when he is watching a movie he will usually have paper and markers with him so he can draw. Sometimes he wants me to help him draw something. I always try and talk him into drawing whatever it is himself because he is so much better than me (at 5, almost 6 years old!). Usually he won't give up until I just draw it (and usually he isn't satisfied with how I've drawn it).

Yesterday he wanted me to draw a pterodactyl. I went ahead and tried even though I couldn't remember off the top of my head exactly how they are shaped. After I finished I noticed Liam cracking up. I thought for sure he was laughing at something Jonas or Nate had done until I looked up and realized he was looking right at my drawing.

"It looks like a pterodactyl butterfly!" ha ha ha ha

After seeing my pitiful drawing he finally decided he would try to draw one on his own. Just like I thought his was MUCH better than mine!

That is so awesomely hilarious! His is better than yours. Lol. It's okay, I don't know how to draw either. A 2 year old could probably draw better than me. Hehe.
