Chalk and crayons

For a four-year-old with no formal instruction, I think Caleb's doing pretty well with his letter writing. Why just today, he wrote his name on the driveway all by himself.

Upside down and backwards, I might add, but all by himself, nonetheless.

What he lacks in penmanship, Caleb more than makes up for in heart. The kids wrote thank you notes to the neighbor who shared his crawfish boil with us, and since Caleb couldn't figure out how to draw a crawfish, he decided to draw a picture of the neighbor's dog, Arnold, instead.

This is Arnold, pooping. (I asked, just to be sure, before sharing his artwork.)

It's all right. Pre-K is just around the corner, and we're going to straighten those letters right out. But something tells me that pictures of animals pooping are here to stay.
