Jaden made her first picture of her family yesterday during "school". As you can see I have big feet. At least my waist is small, I guess. LOL!!!

Having done some work and study in the area of preschool art, I'm very interested in what Jaden's picture says, psychologically speaking.
Take a look at what she has emphasized in each person. Mommy and Daddy's legs are bigger; they are the tall people in her world. Careful attention has been paid to the details of Daddy's clothes; perhaps she in fascinated by the way he dresses. Morgan is close to the bottom (because she's the littlest, and at this level where it's hard to use perspective, putting a person lower down makes them "shorter", like giving them longer legs makes them "taller") and has wild hair and an extra-big smile. Jaden has long arms (perhaps because she is the one drawing the picture, and as creator of the picture long, powerful arms are what she is thinking about as a useful part of herself.)
I also notice that the mouth seems to be the most important part of each face, and everyone is smiling. Perhaps this indicates that she is focused more on everyone being happy than how people actually physically look.
I think it's a wonderful picture, and gives us a lot of insight into her thoughts about her family. :)
