you guys, LOOK. my kid drew a SCENE.

[Deleted]

on the left is me, holding a maraca (the thing with a dots in it that looks like a balloon), in the middle is L, on the right is my husband holding a maraca (you'll notice, he has no hair).  technically, they're BRAZILIAN maracas, according to L.

we're holding hands and dancing at a party.  the color stripey things in the upper left are the party lights.



we're so psyched.  she's never drawn a scene quite like that before.

Hahaha! She's not smiling. Is this a cry for help?

The texture really speaks to me, and the use of complementary triads is daring!

I'm dying laughing at this.  Leave it to me to zero in on the sad face.  She looks like she really doesn't want to be there.

Look how festive the scene is! She's sad because no one is sharing their maracas with her.

I think she's just embarrassed watching her parents party

I would be too

I love this. Can I make a suggestion, though (I am assuming you're going to keep this for all time) -- write the story on a postit note and slap it on the back of the picture. I loved my son's "first" artwork so much that I made magnets of it for all the grandparents, and a mousepad for myself that I still use, and I know it came with this elaborate backstory that I was sure I would always remember because it was such an awesome story; but damned if I can remember any of it now. All I can remember is that the round pink animal is NOT A PIG, DUH. I wish I could remember the story behind it.
