school work isn't always fun for my youngest two. they are less into art and homework and spelling and reading than their older four siblings were. i know there are many different reasons for this. so the two pictures i picked for today are sweet to me. Hudson had some required reading to do before bed one evening, and sometimes this is tricky for him to focus on. so on this particular night, i had him plant himself right in the bathroom where i was bathing the baby. glancing back at him was precious. he did really good. he zoned in and got it done, reading out loud to me and catching the points of the text. his reading has really taken off. he's happy and more confident now and even offering to read in class and KidJam at church. so happy about this....
AJ came home with this treasure last week. must have been up in his classroom for the winter and was coming home now that spring is here...he specifically knew the title, "One Snowy Night". he did this one all by himself, and was pretty proud of it i think. he even asked if it could be displayed in the half bathroom off the kitchen, as i sometimes do with artwork the kids bring home. he remembered that Hudson's tissue paper replica of the Pittsburgh Penguins logo was currently there...
so, i stuck it up on the wall, right above the roll of toilet paper. he's proud. he should be. i think it's pretty beautiful, especially the curly letters he used on his name. he does spell his middle name, Jeffrey, correctly when asked, but might have been carried away with the design... :)
