Brady's First Leaf Pile

Brady was 18 months old. The question about the drawing was how to handle all the leaves. I considered drawing only the leaf he was holding, then perhaps drawing a few leaves around him and hinting at the others. I felt challenged (or foolish) and decided to draw ALL the leaves. I did simplify the job a bit by cropping out a few hundred leaves.
