ailbheEmer asked for a paper and pencil and sat down. "Me daw Nana," she said, and then after a while "Aw done!"
I looked. An oval with two circles inside and some straight lines down.
"Is that Nana?" I asked. "No! Mary!" she said. Mary is a Nana, but not Nana, you see.
She pointed out Mary's head, eyes, arm, and mouth.
If only I had a scanner and a means of drawing arrows on the image, I would show you. But you will have to take my word for it.
Emer is 2 years 6 weeks now, or thereabouts. Linnea was almost two and a half before we noticed anything similar, and she kindly did it on a larger, more photographable scale.
Though it's quite likely that we are more open to adult interpretation of children's drawings, this time around. I know we're better at hearing toddler speech.
