An interesting thing: Suddenly today Xander is drawing objects with the shapes that young children usually use to make them. The reason this is interesting is that he was one of the children who was behind in this skill in his pre-kindergarten class. I saw many drawings (several of the girls' work and a few of the boys') posted in his class that showed stick-figure people and square-triangle houses and even more advanced representations. Xander's and at least one other boy's were mainly scribbles in vague patterns.
Today he wanted to draw. In a minute he showed me a square-triangle house, a lighthouse, and a square-triangle house with one window that he later decided looked like a volcano. Then he drew lava overflowing everywhere, so if I were to show you the drawings it would now look like his last year's drawings. :)
I fully expect to see a sun with rays in the corner of his pictures someday soon.
