Shopping with Nathan

When I took Nathan to Barnes and Noble for his Birthday in August, I was worried that he would be bored with a gift from the bookstore. To my surprise he had the most interest of all of my grandchildren. He and I spent close to two hours browsing through the books. He has a great interest and talent for drawing futuristic characters as well as many of the latest popular space characters. He carefully looked at lots of books that had instructions for improving drawing techniques as well as examples for his drawing. He asked me, "how many books can I have". I told him it depended on the cost of the book. He chose a book for the amount we decided on and then bought a reading book with his own money. I had a really good time talking with him about his drawing and what plans he had for future drawing. It was more fun than I ever imagined I would have with a 13 year old.
