I bought Andrew a calendar for the new year, to start learning about calendars, dates, etc. It happens to be a calendar with paintings by Claude Monet. I thought it would be best if it were something not too distracting, and being an art lover, I wanted to expose him to some fine art.
I was talking to him about the painting, asking what he saw, what was happening in the painting (it was of a snowy road into a village), and I said, what do you think these shapes here are? (houses.)
Andrew: "Those are houses. You know, buildings, and houses."
Me: "Really? They look sort of funny..."
Andrew: "Well, that's because the artist? He didn't really KNOW what a house looked like, he was just drawing them, so it looks funny."
Me: trying really hard not to laugh. I loved that.
That's quite a clever boy you've got there.
