This last Monday, we were at a friends house doing a joint Family Home Evening with four different families. We do this the last Monday of every month with the same families. It's fun to shake things up and socialize with more adults. This month, the activity was carving pumpkins for Halloween. Scarlett was very diligent and excited while helping me empty the pumpkin of all it's guts.
Sorry for the horrible quality photos. Everyone else I know takes amazing pictures with their iPhones. For some reason, Wes and I can only take blurry, dark, junky pictures. Anyway, so, when we were done I gave Scarlett a black sharpie and told her to draw a face on the pumpkin. I was mostly kidding because I was just trying to keep her interested and entertained while I thought about what sort of face I wanted to make on the pumpkin. Then, she drew this.
I said, "Scarlett, what is this?" She then pointed out the below labeled items, naming them one by one. And finished it off with, "See, a face!"
Maybe, it's because I haven't spent much time drawing with 2 1/2 year olds and they're all easily capable of this, or maybe it's because I don't spend enough time drawing with my own 2 1/2 year old and she's been drawing little faces for a year now and that's totally normal, or maybe she's a 2 1/2 year old prodigy! I'm thinking it's the latter.
I just hope she doesn't try to cut off her ear.

Actually that's pretty amazing. Talon didn't do much better drawing on his pumpkin this year at age 4. Better give her lots of artistic opportunities.
Of course she's amazing! Look at the parents!
That's quite the proportional face. I especially like the little tuft of hair on top. :) And I wouldn't worry too much about her ear, because I'm pretty sure Van Gogh had some serious mental issues. Although really you probably wouldn't know yet if Scarlett had mental issues. Let's give her a few years and have her draw another face. If it comes out topsy turvy next time, you should consult a specialist. Sorry my comments are always morbid. :)
I agree, she is a child prodigy!! You can totally see it is a face. what a booey wooey she is.

I have to agree that she is drawing very well. Now I am curious to have Samuel give it a try to see what he can do since they are so close to the same age.
