PICTIONARY GENIUS or GRAFITI ARTIST – only time will tell!

Our budding artist/junior pictionary champ is Madeline Ruby Faulds. She wanders the halls of 15 Wilmot St., with her travel doodlepro in hand, waiting for an adult to venture her way…when she reaches out her “drawing board” and asks in her sweetest voice – “You dwaw someping for me?”. As you draw, she stares intently at the lines being formed and fills the silence with “Umm….Umm…slippers. Umm…Ummm…banana.”. Actually, that isn’t fair, she is an EXCELLENT guess and usually her first guess is correct! She is able to decode very rudimentary drawings with ease and I am constantly impressed with her vocabulary. When she isn’t inside practising her pictionary skills, she is wandering outdoors where her medium is chalk, her canvas – EVERYTHING!!!! She has successfully coloured our garage, the outdoor table and chairs, the deck, the tent, the beams holding up the deck, the trampoline, the swings, and sometimes she manages to sneak some chalk into the house to get the rest of our belongings. Luckily, her other favorite activity is cleaning things with a cloth so there isn’t much fight when I ask her to erase her artistic genius!
