Monsters, Inc.

Madison brought home some of her classwork assignments, which were good of course.  There was a lot of paperwork showing her tracing outlines of various letters and numbers, practicing her writing skills.  She was good with writing the words "purple" and "black."  Some things she needed help with as the color weeks continued.  And some things were downright unusual - like the monsters.  Madison was read a story about a monster - and was given one to color in.  


Of course, she chose red.  And... she gave it angry eyes!  Madison is currently with me right now as I type this.  She's showing me angry eyes as a demonstration!

Next, Madison's task was to create monsters of her own.  Yikes!



This one is pretty strange, although it does start out to have a human form.  That thing up top is an eyeball, according to Madison.  So maybe it's like some sort of deranged purple Mike Wazowski.  It's a drawing that would probably make a Sunday School teacher somewhat concerned.   Although maybe not as much as this monster here:


Mommy asked Madison what those lines were all around this large, pulsating red thing.  Madison said they were legs.  Lots and lots of legs!  It certainly reminds you of a microscopic creature with cilia, and the head up at the top right sort of looks like a planaria.  How'd you like to see one of these coming to see you at night?

Me neither!

  2. Yes, thanks so much! Hopefully we can guide her back into doing more fashion drawings, and less monsters! Although that's a tall order with October just around the corner...at least they are friendly monsters!
