The Budding Artist

We are having a gospel meeting this weekend at church about enriching families & marriages, & so we took a bag of quiet art supplies to church to keep Jackson quiet & content. I hadn't really thought of him as an artist before because he liked to scribble & use markers, etc, but never really stuck with it for long periods of time or cared to take the time to color in the lines well like his cousin Leah does. Lately however, he will take his time, color in the lines & come show me for praises. At church tonight he drew 2 awesome drawings. Yes, they are ACTUAL DRAWINGS of something, not just something, but when i asked, he told me what they were & i already knew (well sort of, i thought the dog was a cat & that the bird was a duck)

here is the cute little dog:

And here is the bird:

Aren't they great? I am so proud of him! This was the first time i had seen him actually try to turn his marks into a real picture. My little boy is growing up! And apparently this is just one more way he is like his daddy- who is actually quite the artist as well! (national award winning in his day!)

Wow! He is the little artist isn't he? Cameron still scribbles all over the page and when I ask him what it is he says, "a brain." hahaha~ Kids are so funny.
