Levi's Art List

Maybe it was the Sponge Bob episode 26 or, maybe Levi is just really creative and expressive. Either way, this is what happened at the Knight home Sunday morning.

Josh got up with Levi and got him breakfast. Claire and I apparently needed our beauty sleep, so we were totally undisturbed. So, after a hearty bowl of Life, Levi told Josh that he wanted to play. Josh asked "play what?" Levi made a list.

This is actually super cute. Since he obviously cannot write, he expressed the games he wanted to play with Josh in art. As you can see from the picture, they had quite a list of things to do! And, after each game was completed, Levi put a check-mark by the photo, and they would move on to the next game.

For those who cannot decipher 4 year-old boy drawings, this is what they played.

1. Bats. Levi really likes bats. He loves the beginning of Scooby-Doo where the bats stream out of the haunted house, he likes the bat portion of the Earth movie and he likes to pretend to be a bat. Notice how he drew the bat in black. That is because bats are only out at night, and night time is black.
2. Breakfast. Okay, so this is not a game, but Levi drew a picture of his cereal bowl. Apparently they played bats before they ate breakfast.
3. Cars. Need I say more?
4. Church. Yes, they played church. Josh told me that Levi told him all the things that a priest is supposed to say, got a cup and then had Josh serve Eucharist. This was Sunday morning after all. His mind was in the right direction!
5. TV. We have a strict no tv rule on Sunday mornings, and Levi got around this by having Josh and him take turns being tv shows.
6. House. Actually this is a picture of the headless snowman monster from a Scooby-Doo episode. In the show, you know the snowman is coming to your house because he blows cold air down your chimney, which blows out your fire, and you get really cold. This picture is the snowman outside (notice the snow-y color) and inside is a chair and a fireplace.
7. Dinosaurs. Again, another staple in our house.
8. Light sabers. Another thing that is constantly being played in our house.

Oh! I just discovered that if you click on the picture, you can see it bigger! Whoo Hoo!

I like his organization skills. Khalila can tell him all he wants to know about bats. Jabran took her to a batwalk at Greenlake last month. She learned alot about them and then watched them fly around.

Oh my! Levi would have loved that! There are some bat caves on the Centennial Trail near us; it has just been too hot to go on a long bike ride! Maybe September...
