Elliot says...

Why shouldn't a seven-year-old have a blog? A father poses questions and a son answers directly, honestly, and candidly with the directness, honesty, and candor that only a seven-year-old can bring.

What do you want to say about the dinosaur egg?

I got it from Wieke and Timo for my verjaardag feest [birthday party].

What do you want to tell Aydan about art?

[Elliot's cousin Aydan has recently developed a webspace of his own, where he can display his artwork from school. And, to say the least, Elliot has been very impressed. But as an aspiring artist of his own accord, Elliot also wanted to reach out to his cousin on the level of creative collaboration. Thus, this post:]

Aydan, if you want to be an artist, you have to draw really good.

I am an artist, too! I like to do artist papers like, um... centers and reading. I like to draw people and animals, too. I've got three done actually. I got 3 poppen -- I mean, guy tekenings. Guy drawings, I mean. I think that's all.
