Much to my delight, Maggie has been really into drawing lately, and she's starting to attempt figurative sketches. Here's a cat:
It's on a paper plate, and she told us it was a cat mask. She wanted to add a string so she could wear it, but when I offered to cut eye holes, she told me, "NO! I already drawed eyes!"
She often starts drawing intending to create one thing, and then revising her plans along the way. The other night, she announced, "I'm gonna draw a leopard...skritch skritch skritch...a leopard snake...skritch scribble...A leopard snake is kinda like a...skritch skritch...whale...skritch...or a tiger...scribble...or a lion."

Our house is full of Maggie art. Each picture has its own wonderfully elaborate explanation. Her imagination has no end.
