He’s got it all figured out.
March 04, 2010
Conversations with a just turned 4 year old.
Ian: Mom, close your eyes and come here.
Me: I cover my eyes, hold his hand and walk across the room. I love these games.
Ian: Open!
Me: I open my eyes.
Ian: See, this is my art!
Me: ART. Junk as art. I love this. Cool Ian, tell me about it.
Ian: See, everything is balancing and it won’t fall down!
Me: Ok. That is art.
Balance. He’s got it down. I’m still figuring it out. Real slow.
*My favorite part: See that Mr. Incredible’s figure hanging for dear life on that rope over there? That’s me. But it’s all good. There is a Fisher Price fire engine just on the other side. Pretty good planning for a 4 year old.

I. Love. This!
So cute Sarah! Thanks for sharing. I think I am the upside-down Rainbow Brite (?) hanging on to the back of the chair.
Wnderfull art! =)
I think I could be that same mr incredible…
Love it! Save pictures of that child’s art–he’s going to be famous some day!
Wow! Aren’t kids so great! Love how they figure things out… it is so simple and perfect.
I love it. How do kids balance things so well?? I’m always cringing that some creation will fall down with one more block placed on top, but no! Aamzing.
I love it! We all know it: engineer!
This is better than some of the stuff I’ve seen for sale in galleries, seriously! Love their little imaginations at this age. Hope you have a great weekend.
Got to love the mr Incredible…too cute…now there must be an artwork in there for you Sarah! Lol
My son turns 18 months tomorrow and so far his favourite thing to do at the moment is to scribble red felt pen on our sofas, rugs actually anywhere that is not paper…and to be honest will treasure the little scribble marks forever! Gorgeous post x
ha ha ha haa that’s hysterical. my boys do that, too & i’ve taken a pic because it was just too funny … to me it had looked like they just spent “rest time” pulling out all their random toys & making a random pile that i knew i’d be putting away … but they were M-I-G-H-T-Y proud. they didn’t call it “art”, though, they called it a “machine”.
ha boys boys boys. too too funny sarah! especially love the pink bow headband.
