Totally off topic, but wanted to share. I have a 3 year old that is completely obsessed with the Statue of Liberty. I have no idea where he even came across knowing about the Statue, but he is determined to go there. I had a 3 hour running commentary pumping me for information on the Statue last light, I think he's trying to figure out if he can get there on his own. "The Statue of Liberty is in You Nordic City, it's far far away. How we get to You Nordic City?" We'd have to drive for days, buddy, or ride a plane. "Planes are at the airport. How we get to the airport? We drive there "But, where is the airport?" It's in Milwaukee. "But, how we get to Mwaukee?" We drive that way. *point east* "We must get out coats on and drive to Mwaukee so we can fly to You Nordic City and go up the circle stairs hiiiiiiiggghhhhh up his arm to the gold thing."
He's got his sights set. No stopping him. This has been going on for at least 6 months. LOL
Here is a painting from last fall, right after he turned 3. Not a bad likeness, I say.
Last night he painted it again, since I told him we couldn't go to "You Nordic City" now, but in the future we'll get him there.
Not bad for a 3 year old. I showed him how to blend dark blue with white to get varying shades of blue, so he had fun with that.
The red spots at the bottom are people (there were lots of red t-shirts on people in the picture he was looking at)
and the black areas are windows and doors so he can go inside and climb up into the statue.
He's my little painter. So darn cute.

Awesome talent there. Your boy has a future in Art. There have been several good coffee table books done on Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. I bet he would enjoy looking at the historical photos and painting them.
