Just curious about toddler drawing/writing..

Just an open question, what are your LO's drawing? 

My 3.5 year old is suddenly extremely interested in drawing diagrams... like... today he drew his interpretation of my husband's boiler heating system diagram? It was pretty accurate to the simplified diagram he saw in DH's work book.
He's never drawn people really (just smiley faces), or trees, flowers the like..but he loves drawing shapes and numbers and letters (he can write a few words), and now diagrams?

My LO draws her attempt at circles, and very VERY basic smiley faces. She is still learning how to control her crayons. Words and letters are really surprising for any kid at this age, I can get her to draw an L (the first letter of her name) but she really doesn't know what it means.

Yea he's always drawing shapes & letters, it's his "thing".  Here are some letters he drew the other day.. he wrote "Send" though it's kinda hard to figure out:

DD still scribbles when she wants to but she tends to draw a lot of people and rockets.  She draws people she knows from family and friends but she also draws characters on tv (her fave is Dave from Imagination Movers...she'll even add details like his red hat.)

She can write letters and numbers (not all of them but some of them.)  She can write words -- her name, mom, dad, etc.

DD likes to draw lots and lots of circles. She periodically throws in the letters that she knows how to write. The other day she did a pretty scribble-like photo but told me it was our family and showed me who each person was supposed to be. She also tends to stick with one color the entire drawing.

Ws. The letter. She's obsessed with Ws. She also has me write them whenever I'm in her vicinity when she's coloring or with her bath crayons every night.

 

Otherwise she just scribbles.
