G-Ram's Art and Words

The last two days, G-Ram has written out to-do lists. It is really cute - he writes down things he wants to do that day and then crosses them out when he gets done. Yesterday, he and I sat down and worked on the list, sounding it out and me helping him with spelling. But this morning he surprised me - in the time it took me to run upstairs and do something (a minute, or two at most), he had written out his entire day's list! Now, for a 4.5 year old, I thought it was fairly well done. Obviously he doesn't have the spelling down well, but everything else on this was done by him:

If you can't read it, it is as follows, spelling corrected as applicable:

1. Color
2. Wii
3. Baseball
4. Cash Register (his toy, not a real one)
5. Play a Game
6. Lincoln Logs
7. Play in my Room

He did a really good job, I thought. And it motivated me to scan in some of his recent art work. One of his favorite things to do is recreate the books he has, especially his current favorite, Richard Scarry's, "A Day at the Airport". Below I've posted the original and G-Ram versions of the cover and one of the inner spreads. For 4.5 he does a pretty darn good job; better than I could do, probably!
