The second dimension
Sunday morning Jacob was busy drawing on the blackboard cupboards in the kitchen. The first thing I noticed was that while last week his drawings were made up of squiggles, (even though he knew how to draw squares, rectangles and circles) for the first time he has started using rectangles in his drawing.
The rectangles quickly became two dimensional spaces, one our backyard, with trees, grass and a giant-chicken and the other the zoo, full of lions and other animals. With both spaces he was very particular about what was on the inside and what was on the outside and the possibilities, or not, for moving from one to the other.
