A Guessing Game

Nick recently broke in his first tooth, three more are following suit and should arrive any day now. It is so strange to see him with teeth. I knew the day would come. I encouraged and awaited it but now that he has them he looks so strange. Like a different kid. I remember feeling the same way with Claire.
Claire was an early bloomer. Early walking, early teeth and early talking. That last one created many great memories; of 'time on the wall', 'I don't mind it' and a multitude of other cute and sometimes difficult to understand phrases. Fast forward and we understand almost everything of what she says but have entered the drawing phase. I say it like that because I am hoping that other parents go through it too. It goes like this:

Child: Look mommy... (holds up drawing proudly)
Parent: That's wonderful honey (hopes to get off that easy)
Child: Will you draw it something to eat
Parent: (begins to sweat because she doesn't know what 'it' is and certainly doesn't know what 'it' would like to eat and doesn't want to insult her budding artist by asking.) What would it like to eat.
Child has thankfully lost interest in the drawing game and moved on to feed "Dan no hands the one time one eyed wonder horse" some plastic pizza.

So maybe you could help. I have a prize for anyone who can correctly tell me what 'it' is or what it would like to eat:

I did ask later what it was so there is a correct answer. Happy guessing :)

My guess is a horse...draw some grass and hay.

I think it is a bird. Plus worms are easy to draw. It is clearly NOT a horse, at least not a horse with no hands. And how does Dan No Hands eat pizza?

Amanda said...

he eats his pizza with help from his good friend Claire of course.
