Emma's Drawing

Recently Emma started drawing people. Before this her coloring/drawing evolved from scribbling to lots of circles to lots of lines, and she also recently started writing her name. It's in a 3 year old's way, of course, and its amazing to watch the learning process. When Emma writes her name she usually starts with the "m's" and then writes the "E," with many more than 3 horizontal lines, and her "a" looks like an "h," but she's doing it!
So, Emma was drawing people the other day and I asked her to draw a picture of her family because my mother-in-law, Helene, was telling a friend and I about a class she took a long time ago about childrens drawings and how their representation of family members shows how they feel about their family and their place in the family. I'm not sure if Emma's picture shows anything yet because all the people are the same size and she actually was changing the names of the different people, but its her first family drawing!
