Dahlia the Artist

For her birthday, Dahlia got a two-sided easel with paints, chalk and markers.  At 3 years 2 months she is doing amazingly well with her art.  This is her self portrait, not quite fully completed.

On another picture, she talked to me as drew:

That is Dahlia.
I put some hair and eyes and a nose and a shirt.
A mouth.
I made a head on me and I put arms on me.
Oh, and a forehead.
Yellow hair. Cheeks.
I put a big hole so that I could fill it in.

I wrote this on her picture, and she also "wrote" on the picture.

Rule of thumb is that you expect the young artist to include one body part for every year of her/his age. Dahlia is way ahead of this.
