More Drawings

Oh my Lord.  I don't even have the words to express what went through my head when I saw Madeleine's newest set of drawings.  Luckily, I can share Madeleine's own words, as she explained her pictures to me.

ME: Madeleine, what did you draw here?
MADELEINE: A big sister and a little brother.  They just played baseball. 
ME: I like the girl's bow.
MADELEINE: Isn't it pretty?  Her hair is supposed to be yellowish brownish orangish reddish.

ME: And what's this?
MADELEINE: Oh, um.  That's, um...a chickie.  That's a DUCK.
ME: And what is this thing? (pointing to the top most object with the heart drawn on it.)
MADELEINE: That's the little check-list that says "GOOD JOB!"
ME: Good job to the duck?
MADELEINE: Uh, good job to the person who makes it BE a duck.

ME: Okay.  What's this?
MADELEINE: Um...word search, and that says "Shake to Paint!"
ME: So the word search is down below, and it says "Shake to Paint" up top?
MADELEINE: Yes.
ME: And whose hands are holding the "Shake to Paint" sign?
MADELEINE: Nobody's!
ME: Oh.

ME: Okay, and who are these people?
MADELEINE: (pointing to the girl on the right) Um, that's a girl that just WON baseball, (pointing to the girl on the left) and that's a girl that you have to try to fill in, too.


Well, I don't know about you, but her explanations just about cleared everything up for me.
