                  How are you today?

Jenny:      Jason....

 

                  Well, he likes to draw pictures.

 

                  It’s something we like to do together.

 

                  First I draw a circle, a square, or some other shape.

 

                  And then Jason draws a picture with that shape.

 

Kathy:      Can you give us an example?

                  And I asked Jason, “What is it?”

 

Kathy:      What did he say?

 

Jenny:        He said, “It’s the sun.”

 

Kathy:      Yes, the sun is a circle.

 

Jenny:      And then he drew a tree and some flowers.
