She has a gift for capturing expression…Is Tadpole the full figure on the bottom right,leaning and glancing askew?

Wow, that’s an incredible drawing for a 2-yr-old!

My 3-and-a-half-yr-old still scribbles manically. He doesn’t even do faces yet.

But he’s very good at talking.

Oh, and a smattering of Spanish, as he only watches Dora in V.O.

Now that I think about it, maybe he’s more confused than retarded?

Whew – I’m so glad to read all of the above comments. My own Tadpole is aged exactly 2 years 3 months, and I was beginning to think of him as slightly retarded, seeing that PA’s Tadpole appears to speak in complete sentences AND draws people.

The best mine can do is scratch a pen across the wall, and he has about 5 words in English and only 2 in French for the moment (“merci” and “au secours!”)….

I vote fo the red one in the middle as well – it looks like she (he, it?) is wearing glasses, as I seem to remember reading that you also do.

So, who are the other people? Therapists often have children draw their family, and then analyze the drawing. Since you were drawn in the middle, some would say it is evident that you are the center of her life.

We’ll have to ask what they would say about the big red eyes! LOL Great drawing for her age!You should think about framing it or save it in her baby scrapbook.

She’s very talented! When I was 2, all I could draw were mice (a slumped ellipse with something sticking out) and Mom’s hands – with no less than 10 fingers on each. I’m guessing you’re the red one in the middle, with what looks like a head instead of a stomach (or is that a whole different person?)… the glasses are lovely, though :)

Glaees? Not just big red eyes?
Do you have the same tradition of filling your refrigerator front with the kid’s pictures? Then when it’s solidly covered they complain about you hiding the old ones – Don’t you like them anymore?

She’s very, very good for just over 2, she really is. I say you’re the big one on the left and she’s the red one looking all wild in the middle top.
