Dexter has suddenly discovered 'drawing'. He's got a large box of colouring materials in his room purchased with some Early Learning vouchers that he received for his first Christmas; he was ten months old. They remained untouched for quite some time.
Now, at just turned two, he actively likes to grab hold of a crayon/pencil/Biro/Mummy's special marking pens and have a bit of a scribble. We went for our second appointment with the speech therapist on Friday. The first thing the boy did when he walked into the warm and inviting playroom/assessment room, was take the lovely therapist's Biro from her hand and start scribbling on her notes!
He's a fan of a circle/spiral, and big on colours too. Dexter's paternal grandmother is a very talented artist; we have loads of her work in our home. I'm hoping some of those creative genes will have been passed on. Not sure that the ten-out-of-ten I got for my still-life broccoli when I was fifteen will influence his talents.
The above photographs were taken by Daddy on Sunday while I was out horse riding - am hoping that hobby will be genetically predisposed too!
