Aquabats!

Has anyone else ever seen "Aquabats"? They're a band. They're superheroes. They have a show.
Anyway this drawing is done from the perspective of an evil robot. That's right, you are the evil robot. Those are your evil robot hands reaching out toward three of the Aquabat team members (there are actually five altogether).  But you will not defeat the Aquabats. They each have little bags of little tiny hearts that they will throw at you and those little tiny hearts will turn you from evil into good.

The Really Mean Princess


Some of this may require a bit of explication. First of all, the numbers on the left are not really part of the drawing, just some maths L happened to be practicing, which you have to read right to left and you'll find that all her sums are correct. Anyway, what's going on here is that the really mean princess has stolen the pretty pink dress from the girl on the right and dressed her in rags, which explains the absolutely huge tears falling from her eyes. That pink blob above them is the stolen dress which is being carried off by birds wearing witch hats. I'm not sure who the white bunny in the window is, although it may be Buster from the Arthur books who, some time ago, was one of L's favorite imaginary friends, and quite the mischief maker. But here he seems very sympathetic, holding up a heart for our poor beleaguered heroine. The long shape around the window is a list of some sort although I don't know what it is supposed to say.

Sad Birthday

L drew this back in June as her fifth birthday approached reflecting the possibly universal fear that no one would show up for her party. Fortunately even this worst case scenario still included lots of presents.

A picture of the moon for the moon

L drew this after arriving home the other day with a bright crescent moon hanging in the sky over the house. While it may not be one of L's most sophisticated drawings I like this for two reasons.
1. We've never actually discussed the way the moon changes. So this is apparently from observation (although the lips may not be).
2. Her younger sister took the drawing outside and down to the end of the driveway, held it up so that the moon could see it and said, "Moon! L- draw this for you. It's you. goodnight moon."
