Artworks at ages 3 & 4

This should've been part of the birthday post "Artworks until 6". But now that the attempt to finish uploading all pics in the folder 'earlier', mas angkla pala yata ang title na ito. Narito ang first drawings niya'ng may hugis, first word, etc. Ehehe halata rin pala sa part na ito na may panahong nahumaling siya sa windmills (may kinalaman pa rin sa Thomas and Friends!).

Collaborations II

The following are drawings by Ate Violet on one of Batang Thomas' "Aklat". In the earlier post, Ate Violet's is the cartoon sketch of girls.

This is one of the boats he folded and water-colored with a creative Ate who helped us take care of him when he was in Kindergarten:

This is by Kuya D with whom he doodled in a restaurant. Drinowingan nila yung paper placemats kasi wala namang ibang papel, though may pentel. :)

Marami pa talagang kulang sa bahaging ito. Palagay rin namin, maraming pwedeng isali na hindi pa namin nakikita. Naiisip kasi naming posibleng may co-drawn sketches din sila ng classmates niya sa school where he spends about four hours daily. Siguro -- sana -- sa susunod madagdagan pa namin ito ng mga ganoon.

Builder II

The following are the rest of the "Builder" portion we put up on Batang Thomas' birthday. He loves making various smiley faces -- this one is from Nanay's beadworks --


This noseless-- or mouthless (whichever way you see it :)) face is from the wooden tracks from a Thomas gift set by one of his Lolas.

I think this is some kind of train station he was trying to make - with those wet, torn pieces of paper meant to be hills of some sort --

See that arrow he wrote in pentelpen on the yellow lego piece? He's written signs and warnings and drawn roads and such on his rubbermats, tracks and other toys... nagawa na nya bago namin mapansin. In fairness though, after we've pointed out to him that writing on these things do less to preserve them, he's stopped. (Or is it because wala na syang masulatan, ehehehe.)

Trueblue Thomas and Friends Fan II

Here's (hopefully, if the cafe's server's speed will allow it...) the rest of Batang Thomas' 'arrangements' and artwork with regard to his enthusiasm of Thomas and Friends (not that it will no longer be the subject in other parts of this blog, :)).

He drew the following when he was about 5:

This was how he drew Thomas when he was around 3 years old:

Dati fascinated lang kami sa fascination niya sa mga tren at engine na may mukha. Pero habang nagtagal personal na rin kaming natuwa sa Thomas and Friends dahil sa content ng mga kwento nito. Lahat ay may aral na pambata (at pang-matanda rin!) tungkol sa pagkakaibigan, pakikipag-kapwa, tulungan, pagpapakumbaba, mga pangarap, pagtityaga, kasipagan, katapatan, at marami pang ibang magagandang asal na gusto nating matutunan ng mga bata (at patuloy na pinag-aaralang gawin ng matatanda!)...

Sina Annie at Clarabel ay coaches ni Thomas na malalapit rin niyang kaibigan at madalas nagpapaalala sa kanya kapag hindi maganda ang ipinakikita nyang ugali. Kasunod naman si Toby, isang simple, responsable at mabait na tram engine. Sa kasimplehan nya, maaalala si Mater ng Cars ng Disney.
