Creativity Knows No Bounds: A Toddler’s Masterpiece

My 3-year-old grandson drew some squiggles on the sidewalk with orange chalk and proclaimed, “I make a rocket.”  More squiggles were a “racecar.” Another loopy line was a “banana.” Kids have an incredible knack for creativity.

I’ve hung this masterpiece in my office, not only because it’s a work of art, but also because it captures my grandson’s current obsession—total resistance to potty-training.

“Oh, that’s cool!  What is it?” his mom asked.

“Poop in a potty!” he answered matter-of-factly.

I mean, who needs realism when you’ve got creativity like that?
