"TOO LITTLE MOON!"

I'm game for playing and doing most anything with A.  But I have to admit that these days I am not enjoying one of her favorite activities, which - in her opinion - should involve all bystanders' participation:  drawing.  Yes, drawing.  I can't draw worth a darn.  And I think M. has encouraged her interest in others' drawings because he can draw quite well (lucky!).  This morning, I swallowed my pride and sat down for a, grrrrrrr, drawing session (how bad could I be?).  At A.'s request, I drew a moon (yes, I think it's backwards. Remember, I'm no artist.)   

And her response?  "TOO LITTLE MOON!"   Um, okay (no, I didn't stomp my feet and shout, "well, then you draw the moon!").  And so I drew a  larger moon.  Still not impressed. So I offered:  "A bird?"  No.  "A butterfly?"  No.  Then, A. asked:  "Thomas?"  Me:  "As in the train?"  A.: "Yes."  Oh, yikes.  Let's just put it this way: My Thomas was no Thomas and A. quickly became bored and instead asked to watch Thomas on TV.  Sigh. So I'm not a cartoonist.  We'll just have to focus on other artistic ventures (or I'll have to take a drawing class.  Pronto.)  

Follow-up Note:  later this morning, we decided to use our crayons to draw on a very large cardboard box we received recently.  That was fun.  Maybe I just need to draw on a larger scale . . .
