Zane drew Maisy today. He was so excited when I guessed correctly, then started repeating, excitedly, “maisy, maisy, maisy”. Look at the Amazon “what you are reading” for a picture of the real maisy. What I thought was cute is when he sat back and looked at for a minute, with his face all scrunched up in concentration, then leaned forward and put wiskers on her nose. He also put little dots in for eyes, but they aren’t showing up very well either. He worked from memory, btw…we were outside on the porch. I did have to do a little bit of photshopping on the picture since the pavement was wet in patches and our camera couldn’t pick up the picture quite like it needed to to see his drawing, but I just took the contrast down on the background and left his drawing alone.
What a good artist!
My T was a Maisy fan when she was 2 and 3 also. Last year I thought she had kind of outgrown it, but then she told me she wanted “all the Maisy books” for her birthday, so I bought about 15 of the cheap paperback ones from Amazon. Now they email me every time anything Maisy emerges in any form of media!
