You Better Believe
The other night Simon asked me for a pen and some paper.
This is what he drew.
Not tracing.
Looking at a picture and then drawing it.
You better believe there was a whole lot of "Simon, that is so awesome."
I think someone might need his own sketchbook.
I can honestly say one of the best gifts I *ever* received when I was growing up was a big pad of plain white paper. I still have it - and because I saved it for "special" drawings, it's still got some paper left blank in it. That is awesome, Simon. Way awesome.

I'd love to send Simon a sketchbook and some pencils but I understand from a privacy point of view you may not want to share your address. I've followed you, your career and family for a long time and I just feel like I'd like to give back a little for all you do. Email me at laew@aol.com if you're comfortable with the offer - will understand if you're not.

This is such a great thing. The same thing happened to my 10 year old about 6 months age. He stared drawing by looking at pictures and it really helps him occupy himself. If you can read and draw--you can always keep yourself

SO amazing, Simon! I love Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Clearly has great taste and much talent, that boy of yours. Of course, look at his role model--the very talented Ali E.

Do you have this Diary of a Whimpy Kid book: http://www.amazon.com/Wimpy-Do-It-Yourself-revised-expanded-Diary/dp/0810989956/ref=sr_1_6?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1332336459&sr=1-6
It's an interactive, do-it-yourself book. My youngest (now 11) just loved it when we got it for him a couple years ago.
Go Simon!

this is so fantastic; i'm still getting over that little lego video...how cool! this is an area of frustration for my son who is somewhat disinterested and very upset when he can't draw things perfectly - trying to break that need for perfection... enjoy, Simon! Great job!
