My two-year-old loves drawing. Or so he claims. Don't believe his filthy lies! What he loves is saying that he wants me to draw with him, and then instructing me on what I should be drawing. He will, sometimes, deign to scribble a colour onto what I've drawn, which hardly counts.
But it is very fun to get that insight into what he wants to see. Popular requests, in no particular order: -Excavator (we live in a brand new apartment, and there's a construction site outside where they're building more) -Crane (ditto) -Cement mixer (ditto) -Apple tree (I draw the tree, and he likes jamming his crayons down to make dots that are supposed to be apples) -Sandbox (duh) -"The bear girl" (character from one of his favourite books) -"Mini rabbit" (ditto) -Kittens "running and playing and running and playing and ooonly running and playing!" (I once showed him a video of the cat and her kittens that we briefly took care of before he was born) -A mommy cat making sure her kittens are safe (ditto) -Water pipes (he just loves them) -Me making sure he's safe as he emerges from a water pipe (mixing different ideas here) -A puddle (so his toy giraffe can drink from it)
