Uncle Kwaw

Travis' imagination is really showing through.

He invented an imaginary relative named "Uncle Kwaw." Uncle Kwaw is always sad because he has a hole in his hat. Travis talks about him frequently and draws several pictures of him each day.

T-man has his own vocabulary. A photograph is a "special memory." A ceiling fan is a "great summer fan."

He is also visually creative. If we leave him alone with-- well, anything, really-- he makes art. All over the walls. All over the chairs. All over himself. His favorite mediums are marker, yogurt, and chalk.

Travis made his largest modern art piece a few months ago when he wandered into his room with a smoothie. He painted a ball with it, then bounced the ball all over his bedroom. Everything was covered in smoothie splatter art.

Despite the messes, we love getting a glimpse into that cute little mind.
