What is that you ask? Why, it's the first brilliant piece from an up-and-coming young artist, Miles! Notice how expressive and stormy the colors are? It was a rainy day when he created it. I've tried to color with him a few times, but he always preferred to taste the colors. But he has started preschool now, and when he saw his new friends coloring away, he went to it!
Ah yes, school days are here. He's started last Thursday and will go 2 days a week for about 6 hours. He waved bye-bye to me when I dropped him off the first day, and really wasn't ready to leave when I came back. And boy, did he talk my ear off that first afternoon! He had a lot to tell me about what they'd done that day. The first effect I've seen of school is that it upped his jabber-quantity. A lot. And even the jabber-quality has improved, as we've both noticed some words that sound more like the real thing and not just "ba" that has 12 different meanings depending on where we are. 
And he's back to enjoying his books again! He lost interest for a while when he started walking - I mean, walking IS super awesome! - but now he will snuggle up and read with us or just look at books on his own. There are some new favorites in the bunch too, including any with "choo-choo" on them.
Reason #2783 we like having a kid: We can now justify our collection of great kids' movies. We finally saw Cars last night, and we, uh, Miles definitely needs to have that one!
