Aseem's Drawing

Aseem's creativity has taken a quantum leap in the last ten or so days. From completely random squiggles he has gone to drawing characters. They all are the cartoon stick-figures as in the first picture (which is a chick inside a shell). Each "person" (such as a pig or a baby or daddy) starts with a circle for a head, two big eyes, two sideways arms, and two legs.
The last couple of days he has been adding hair. Here's his "portrait" of me. I don't know where the blond hair comes from, but I am really proud of what he has accomplished in the past two weeks!

Aseem started drawing this third picture with the big circle. I asked him what it was and he replied that it was a swimming pool. He proceeded to "add" water to the pool and then added the two multi-colored chicks who were going to swim in that pool. I love watching his imagination develop. It is such a privilege to be able to watch this whole process unfold.

In typical Aseem fashion he has gone from 0 to 60 in 6 seconds - after being stuck at zero for what seemed like an eternity. It's a real pleasure to watch him blossom like this.
