Spring is on the Paper

Spring certainly wasn't in the air this weekend with temperatures hovering in the upper 40s and low 50s, but since Finley's been learning about spring at school--spring was alive and well inside.  We planted some kidney and lima bean seeds in pots inside and Finley did an AMAZING spring drawing while we were in the playroom this morning.  I'm thrilled that he's getting more into drawing and seems to have more confidence in his own abilities to draw the things he has in mind.

He was narrating to me what he was drawing and asked for some ideas of what else to add, but he drew everything without any physical assistance.

 Here he is explaining what he'd drawn.

So let me try to recall what he told me:

The green blobs are rocks and the green rectangle around them is the grass (since grass is flat and straight, Finley said).  The green polka-dots are mommy ladybugs and the red ones are their babies.  Then, there's the BEAUTIFUL sun with rays coming out and two clouds.  He also attempted a flower on the left side of the grass, but said it didn't look quite right.

Loving this new phase!
