The eye and the nose are stick-ons -- a little pompom for the nose and a wiggly plastic eye. (You know, it's a small plastic dome over a white flat background with a smaller plastic black disc that moves freely within it...)

Perhaps she's petting the dog?

I think it's just that the dog is in the foreground and she's in the background -- so her arm is extended but the dog covers it up. (Yeah, just confirmed -- "Oh, it's not a BIG dog... it's just in front.")

What does she think about the fact that grownups are discussing her picture online?

Seems to be taking it in stride. Why wouldn't they be? ;-)

(When I had the notecards [with her drawings on them] printed by Shutterfly, she asked if they would be available for anyone to buy and was disappointed when I said no.)

Ah. You mean kind of like the eyes some toy-dogs have? Cool. If she likes collages like that, she might find some inspiration in Leo Lionni's books. Lionni is famous for illustrations like that. His "Frederick" was my favorite book when I was Sozlet's age.

Yep! We have a lot of Lionni books. "Swimmy" was one of my favorites. "Alexander and the Wind-Up Mouse" is one that she likes a lot.

There's a developmental milestone involving the way a kid draws a house. They will ALWAYS put on a doorknob (how else would you get in?), but when they first start to draw houses, the knob's in the middle of the door. There's a perceptual marker that comes along in a little while, and the doorknob will move to one side of the door. I forget more details than that; I read about it years ago. But it's a shift in perception that affects other parts of life too...

A couple of recent forays into representational drawings:

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d130/sozobe/catdrawing.jpg

This is a drawing of a toy cat she has -- I couldn't find the exact one online, but this one is just like it with different coloring:

http://www.playfulplushtoys.com/miva/graphics/00000001/abysinian7.jpg

(The one she has is colored exactly as shown, white with a gray patch around and including one ear.)

And Plankton, from "Spongebob Squarepants". (She wrote the caption, too, but was told the spelling.)

Last night E.G. asked us how our day had been; I said something about how I was focusing on getting her back to full strength before school started again, so it was "a pretty low-key day." Sozlet added, "it was so low-key that the key was WAY down in the dirt!" (A bit boring for her, I think...)

LOL!

She really captured the expression of the cat, too. Haven't seen enough Sponge Bob to know about Plankton.

Was she working from memory or from er, life for Mary and/or Plankton? (Either way, great drawings.)

Life for Mary, memory for Plankton. There had been a blurb between shows on "How to draw Plankton" with that pose (beetled brow, frown), she reproduced it pretty thoroughly (but from memory).
