Artist Jet

[liralen]

Jet is now drawing loaf cats everywhere. He makes an oval, makes one end a circle, puts sleepy eyes, a dot nose with whiskers, and a contented cat-smile underneath. He adds two ears to the circle head, and then does just a curve for the curl of the tail around all the toes.

He likes his sleepy cat so much he taught me how to draw one, too. *beam*

He and I covered two Post-it 3x3 pads with gold wrapping paper, and one of them has a ribbon tie to tie it closed. He has made one his art pad and the other his dictionary. He writes every word he can think of into his dictionary and sometimes draws pictures to go with them.

He really loves his books. I'm very happy he's enjoying them so much.

That is so very marvelous, the image of Jet with his dictionary and his art pad, drawing loaf cats and writing down words...

Words and their meanings. He is very careful with the meanings...

I wonder if he will love poetry for its connotations or hate it for the ambiguity? (Or neither, of course.)

I suspect the first... he's been enjoying puns and he and I talk about clouds of meaning around words and he's very interested in that. He loves writing, so it's going to be interesting trying to nurture that when Mom and Dad gave me such a fear of writing when they basically went to war against my sister for becoming a technical writer instead of an engineer.

Plus, my sister's intelligence and ability with words terrified me as well, as she always criticizes what I write in ways that make me just want to give up. So it is. She doesn't mean to, but I'm so terrified of it to begin with.

So I'll try and expunge some of that luggage on my part by seeing that Jet doesn't get any of it to start. We'll see...
