Art by Brooke
Brooke’s artwork has continued to bring a smile to my face. One day she came home from school talking about music class. As she was prattling on, she drew the following picture. I was amazed that she knew the f meant to sing loudly and the p meant to be quieter. She even had the crescendo and decrescendo drawn out!
This is a house that she drew. The green triangles are bells. They are attached to the doorknobs by strings so when you open the door, the bell rings:
Occasionally I will find doodles on Brooke’s schoolwork. That’s a seesaw that she drew under her name:
I asked Brooke about the following doodles. She said that in the brown box she was trying to draw Wall-E to show the girl sitting next to her but she ran out of space. The blue rectangle was a game board and the smaller rectangle is the deck of cards to draw from:
What are those scribbles above the R? A roller coaster:
Here’s Dallas coming home from work. That’s a heart above his head:
Here’s Brooke in her bed at night thinking about her best friend, Ania, who we moved away from. Brooke is still deeply mourning that loss:
And finally, Brooke made a robot:
We had parent teacher conferences tonight with Brooke’s kindergarten teacher. Her teacher remarked about how creative Brooke is. I think I definitely agree!

Love her use of a spoon and a fork. She depicted her sadness over missing Ania so well.

Just when I was impressed with Eli’s Picasso art, Brooke’s gotta show him up with her awesomeness.
Okay. I love, love, loved the Ania picture. A – For her portrayal of her sadness and B – for the balloon on her bed.
The bells on the door is so Brooke. I remember watching her make a “volleyball net” at mom’s one time and she was so resourceful in instinctual with her creation of it. The drawn bell set-up reminds me of that.
Finally, I really wish I could have heard the conversation Brooke and her classmate had that resulted in a picture of Wall-E needing to be drawn.
The end.

Sarah – Brooke will love that you noticed the balloon on her bed. The greatest injustice in her life right now is that I won’t buy her any balloons. Consequently she has determined that she needs heaven’s help to get some and now prays every night that she will get balloons and that they will never pop.
