Boo can draw shapes! Every once in a while we go on a crayon binge. Usually he just scribbles and we draw things for him. Well this past week he’s been scribbling, but then pointing at what he’s drawn and said “blue” if he’s been using the blue crayon, for example.

But today! Today he started drawing shapes. They weren’t perfect, mind you, but they were solidly identifiable as shapes. I would draw a triangle, and he drew a blob with three pointy ends and a definite swoopy flourish where he finished. I would draw a circle, and he would go round and round and it’s definitely a circle! He even tried a square although that was harder.

Boo has been avidly interested in this shape puzzle H got him a while back, and he’s very, very good at it. Only the diamond still gives him any trouble (pesky diamonds!). So clearly drawing them is the next step! Growing in leaps and bounds, I tell you.
