Oldies But Goodies

Recently Brianna has had renewed interest in some of her old toys, ones she hasn’t played with in quite some time. Some of the toys making a comeback are her electric drum, the barrel of monkeys, her latch puzzle, and Mr. Potato Head. I guess she’s coming back to these since she can now play with them at a new level of understanding and technical prowess.

Another toy that had been kind of forgotten but is back in action is her little Magna Doodle. (You know, the one where you make the magnetic “pen” draw by dragging it across the screen.) Today she spent hours scribbling away on it. But, the funny part was that she’d scribble, scribble, scribble until the screen was completely black. Then, “Mom, I drew a turtle!” she’s say. “Yes, very nice,” I’d tell her. She’d scribble a few minutes more, still having a totally black screen and declare “Look, it’s a cat!” Scribble, scribble, “Look Mom, it’s Dora!” (the Explorer from TV). Scribble, scribble, scribble, “Hey, I made a picture of Kadyn!” Of course the screen looked exactly the same each time, but I guess art is subjective right?
