Drawing / Scribbling

Over the last couple of weeks, Preston has taken a big interest in drawing. He is always asking us for pens and paper and will carry his paper over to a table to draw on it.

His method of asking for things follows the following steps. If a step fails, he tries the next one:
1. signing and words
2. pointing and grunting
3. pointing and tantrum
4. arms up to say 'please pick me up' followed by step #3 if you pick him up.

One interesting thing I noticed yesterday when he was writing was his preference for his Right hand. I tried giving him his pencil to either hand, and if it went into his left hand, he'd pass it to his right before he did any drawing.
