my six-year-old's artistic interpretation of the battle of thermopylea

I love finding the little drawings and writings of the kids when i'm cleaning!

This is one Charlie drew of the 300 Spartans in the battle of Thermopylae. Complete with shield and arrows in mid-flight. The large dark mass on the right is the huge Persian army.

Notice he drew verbs, not nouns. Something is happening in the picture. He loves it when i say, "Look at what you drew.... what is happening in your picture?" And then comes a long description! The girls almost always draw nouns and they look at me with blank looks when I ask the same question and I get the answer, "its a cat."
