LOML and I met with Boo and Skibo's teachers this afternoon --- and let me tell you, there is nothing that puffs a parent up quite like being told just how good and smart and well behaved not one, but both of your children are!
For some reason, the school doesn't seem to emphasize art very much --- and both Boo and Skibo love drawing at home: yesterday marked a turning point for both of them -- Boo drew a house which was quite identifiable as such, and then, to our astonishment, she drew little flowers in front of the house! And they looked like flowers!
Skibo, 21 months her junior, is learning from his older sister: his drawing yesterday of people showed him beginning to represent heads and bodies -- no arms or legs yet -- but he's a good few months of when she took the same step. Nice to see him shining too, as it is distressingly easy for us to always be amazed at what she can do, and then fail to recognize that he's doing something wonderful too.
Yours, amazed at them both,
N.
