I have a grandson just your age, his name is Joseph... even your names are similar... he likes to draw dinosaurs and monsters from his imagination... I love your plate and especially your turkey... Do you ever draw imaginary things too? Keep up the good work, and tell your Uncle Dan he should include your work more often in his blog.Capt Elaine Magliacanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10919763270702138153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7926475327161474509.post-47771871102938305142009-12-02T09:55:19.611-05:002009-12-02T09:55:19.611-05:00Wonderfully done, Jacob.

Your idea to add the cat to the tray was inspired, and I love that the tail trails off the side, like maybe it is coming to life and ready to walk off the design!

Also thanks for the new inspiration for planning my kids meals. They might actually take to eating vegetables if the only other thing to eat on their plate is a blue cat!
