Chipmunk's Art

Here's our happy little artist. Sometimes I wonder what is going on in his little head. Okay, so I often wonder what is going on in his little head. After seeing some of his artwork and hearing his explanations, I'm scratching my head even more at what kinds of thoughts are firing across his little neurons.

"Is this a spider?" I asked.

"No! It's a octopus that walks on its legs!"

"Okay, then what's this?" I pointed to the next picture.



"I drawed a ghost and a sign that says 'No Ghosts Allowed' on it..."

"No ghosts?" I asked.

"Yeah...the ghosts can't go because I drawed a sign with a circle and a line in it."

"Ah, well too bad for that ghost," I responded.

Kindergarten Begins...

So it's begun...my little girl has now entered compulsory education. She's a kindergartener. Sigh.

It's been three days in, but each day I've been asking her the same questions:

How was your day?
What did you do today?
Did you make any new friends?

Today while walking home we chatted again.

"Mommy, I did make a new friend today! But he spends everyday sitting in the 'thinking chair' for a long time."

"The thinking chair?" I asked.

"Yeah, it's the chair you sit in when you do bad things and you have to think about what you did wrong."

"Oh really?"

"Uh huh...my friend sits there everyday."

"Oh really..." I say rather hesitantly. "Have you ever sat in the thinking chair?"

"No," she giggles. "I don't do anything bad...just my friend."

Heh heh...perhaps I need to meet this "friend."
