Benny goes to Preschool for the Arts and he's been learning to make G clefs, F clefs, staffs, notes, and stuff like that. Pretty amazing, in my opinion, that his teacher manages to pound these fairly complicated symbols into the head of someone who's barely four. Let's hear it for Ms. Claudia!!!! :) And Benny! :)
HERE is a page of pictures of his recent drawing efforts, including the above-mentioned stuff and some houses too.
We had more snow here in Virginia! Benny and I and Dad all went out to play in it while Sadie was having a little nap. Well, I hovered around the back door sticking my head in every couple seconds to make sure robbers hadn't come in the front door and stolen her off the sofa. But I did take some pictures!

Benny: (from in the bathroom, door is shut) MOMMY what happened? I'm all wet!
Me: (Rushing in) Benny did you tinkle in your pants and all over the floor? (Stupid question, clearly he did)
Benny: Umm... yes.
Me: Why did you DO that? (Expecting that to be a rhetorical question)
Benny: Because there's TIGERS in the potty.
Me: WHAT??? No, there aren't any tigers in the potty.
Benny: Well there are LIONS in the potty.
Me: No, no lions either
Benny: But tigers don't LIKE water but there's no WATER in that potty only TIGERS.
And the conversation devolved from there. Which is saying a lot, given "tigers in the potty" as a starting point.
