Seasons

 Red Fish is going through an interesting shift in her artwork.  She has started doing more representational drawings.  She has brought pumpkins in off the porch to do observational drawings.  It has been fun to watch.  Yesterday she was asking me all of these questions about the earth moving and why we don't feel it.  We ended up talking about the earth moving around the sun and rotating to create day and night and the different seasons.  She decided to make an art project of the four seasons during her quiet time.  She took tape and made tree branches on four trees and then asked me to come downstairs and write the seasons on the sides of the trees.  I should have just spelled them for her so she could have written them herself.  I'm still getting used to the idea that she can do that sort of thing.  Then she decorated the four trees.  Spring has pink flowers, summer has green leaves, fall has colored leaves and winter is bare.  I think it's pretty amazing.
