While baby-sitting I tried to steer my charges away from the Sesame Street website (there's only so much giggly Elmo laughter one can take) and towards artcyclopedia. I was looking for images of Picasso's portraits so I could show them that artists don't always draw things as they are in life but rather as how they envision them. While browsing through the images with the older one the younger one promptly grabbed my post-it notes and pen. Thirty seconds later she thrust this post-it note in my face declaring it was a portrait of me.

I'd like to think she learned well but I suspect she's still stuck on realism.
