"Kind of like a hen with a tail"

That's Gavin's description of this picture he just drew. :)

I think it's so fun watching kids' drawing skills emerge and develop! I remember the first time Gavin drew a stick person (well, a loose rendition thereof) - it was so exciting to see something other than scribbles on the paper! Now when he sits down to draw something (which isn't too often - he's not really into just drawing/coloring) he has a definite idea of what he's drawing and it usually ends up looking at least a little bit like what he intended. Very cool.
