A budding artist?

Last summer, when I was in Utah, I got Anna a drawing toy from DI. I think I paid $1 for it. Well, she loved it. She would draw on it all the time. Since it was used, the piece that slides across and erases the board broke a few times. Dan was able to glue it back together, but eventually he couldn't fix it anymore. I broke down and bought her a new one. Probably one of the few times I've actually bought her something new. But it was worth it to me because she seriously uses it all the time and really loves it.

Last week she wrote her name. The missionaries came over for dinner and while we were waiting for dinner to cook, Dan asked Anna to write her name and she did. It was the first time and she did it!

Pretty darn good if I do say so myself.

This one is a mountain.

A person

This one has a hat.

I can't remember exactly, but I'm pretty sure this is a picture of Logan, and his mom and dad.

This one is a picture of an alien spaceship! There's a show she was watching, called Kipper. It's about a dog and his adventures. In one of them, some aliens come and this is what the spaceship looks like. A circle with three legs coming out from it.

Here's another shot. I had to add this one because I was able to capture a facial expression that she does a lot, that is so very Anna. :)

Then, later she drew the aliens. In the show they look like pigs with long snout like noses.

It's pretty good. She's so smart to be able to take something that she sees and then draw it.

This was a year ago. It's some flowers.

Not quite sure what this is supposed to be, but it looks cool!

I'm pretty sure this is her.

It will be interesting to see how her drawing develops as she gets older and if it will be a real talent.
