I know everyone thinks their kids are clever...

[Olf]

But my two and a half year old daughter just drew this picture of herself...



I was gobsmacked.

[Norbury90]

Sorry, I just had a little giggle at that.


Saying that though, I would be bloody hard-pressed to achieve anything on one of them machines.

Good job she's clever, 'cos looking like that life ain't going to be easy!

Giggling is fine. We have to take our laughs where we find them.

There is an entire literature on kids drawing. The fact that in her picture she is a head and sticks suggests thst she is yet to develop the cognitive skills required to recognise and draw proportionate and separate torse/ limbs, which is indicative of age relevant immature cognition, or that she is indeed a head on sticks and very very clever. You decide.

My 3 year old grand daughter was due to turn 4 last month.
I asked her what she would like for her birthday?
A 'laptop' was her reply, but not one of the childrens ones' , I want a real on!

She almost every day, will turn on my laptop, start up the internet, go to bookmarks, and pick her favourite website.
'Up to ten'
She will happily 'interact' with the games and the quizzes.

Quite astounding, considering, she was doing this from say 3 years 9 months.

This laptop is a 17inch, HP pavillion, uses the mouse like it was always meant to be.

So yes, new laptop on the way !

my nephew rolls around on the ground. I think hes going to be a footballer.

[Penny-lope]

I actually think my son's a bit thick....decided to open a bottle last night using his teeth. 'Ouch' followed by lots of blood, and one very very loose tooth!!

So that will be a visit from the Tooth Fairy then

Damn, never thought of it like that

Is that an Etch-a-sketch? How did she lift the 'pen' to do the eyes and mouth without a line connecting them to the rest of the drawing?

(Oh, and Brown and Boris: )

Anyone who tries to psychoanalyse the drawings of a 2 year old is a goat sucker..
