Sunset

Last night, Natalie was having a good time playing outside. After a while, she decided to get her crayons and some paper. She told me that she was going to draw the sunset. (I'm not sure if this idea was spurred on by a cartoon we had watched earlier in the week or not.) As I was watching her draw all of the things she saw in our neighbors yard, like their vehicles and trees, I was intrigued when she tried to get the right color for the actual sunset portion of her picture. She took out about 4 or 5 crayons, held them up towards the sky, and then chose the color that she thought best matched the color of the sunset. I was highly impressed as I am not very artistic at all, and she already can draw things better than I could ever possibly try to do. After her sunset picture, she turned around, and proceeded to draw our other neighbors home. Again, I found this neat to watch as I am always impressed with those that have artistic abilities.
