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.

    That is so cool.My big boy loves to draw. It makes him happy and he makes stories up from his drawings. He makes up new characters based from his first jump off ideas then he has a game. It is truly wonderful how art can make them happy and help the imagination ttravel its own journey.

    Wow! How awesome it would be if you include some original animation/sketches into his scrapbooks! Must have gotten his mama's artistic ability.

    (PS - Love Diary of a Wimpy Kid)

    Those are AWESOME! He is awesome! I bought Sketchbooks for my boys (almost 14 and 10) last summer and they sketched nearly the whole trip to Florida. Love when they unplug and engage in artwork instead of electronics! :)
    Seriously cool Ali! Thanks for sharing.

    That's brilliant. Those books have inspired my two boys to draw their own versions of Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I'll put up with the potty humour for some creative drawings!

    It seems like Simon has been getting a lot of great opportunities to experiment with creativity. I have enjoyed the glimpses that you have shared with us both in this post and with his Lego video.
