skill or coincidence?

Charlie has taken to very carefully, painstakingly, drawing little tiny shapes recently. They usually look like small circles that accidentally got in a head-on collision with a truck. As he draws, he tells me they are a car or a flower, but they look nothing like what he says they are. So, imagine my surprise today when Charlie excitedly called for me to come see his rocket. (He and Jonathan have been talking a lot about rockets recently.) I was expecting to celebrate the funeral of another mangled family of circles while making blast-off sound effects and instead I saw this:

(I’m not sure how he did it, since I didn’t see him draw it. And believe me, I checked to make sure that Jonathan hadn’t drawn it for him! All I can figure is that he did it by accident and then recognized the image!)
