symmetry - 10:07 AM
(filed under 'smiley')
smiley seems to have a highly developed sense of symmetry, just as i do.
one time when i was drawing to his instruction, i drew a squiggle in one corner. he had me draw matching squiggles in the other three corners & then other matching shapes or lines over the whole page. you could almost have folded the picture in half & had a mirror image.
on the barney the purple dinosaur site (ergh. i so hate barney the purple dinosaur!) there's a game where you can build up a castle scene by adding trees, windows etc. on every single crennel or embrasure at the top of the castle (i had to look up what they're called. i was going to call them 'square sticky-uppy things') smiley put a tree. he didn't miss a single one.
so it seems this overdeveloped sense of symmetry of mine might be hereditary.

mcdonalds, arabian style. i'm sure there are other menu items which are 'arabified' as well, but this one is a classic, to be sure! it's a pic at flickr, so click the link to see it.
new word - 08:13 AM
(filed under 'smiley')
smiley tried a new word this morning. he had the lid of a little cooking set he's rediscovered which jade gave him ages ago & which he quite likes & was asking for the 'blue circle' which goes with it. i told him it was a fry pan & tried to teach him how to say it.
i said, "fry pan."
he said, "fright. man."
"fry pan."
"fright. man."
"fryyy. paaan."
"pripe ann."
"fry."
"pry."
"pan."
"fan."
"fry pan."
"pripan."
"close enough."
