Picasso? Michelangelo? Pollack?



This is Eddie's first piece of offical "nursery school" artwork. They had us trace his hands and feet in advance--now we're curious what they will do with the feet. These are the hands of his classmates--Eddie's hand is the first one to the left of the string.

Aside from holding still long enough to trace his hand, Eddie's contribution was all the colorful dots you see--the red, blue, and yellow. They make special markers where the tips are circles or dots rather than pointed. Suits his style of coloring very well.

I forgot to send him in with a bib, so I got a nice note asking if I could do so next time, so I've made myself a checklist of what to pack each time--I'd feel horrible if I forgot something major like a diaper. The teacher seems to really like him. Says he is very observant and sweet. I can't remember what else she said, but that he was a great kid basically. That he plays well, both alone and with other kids--whew, what a relief. At least we're starting out on the right foot.

Den took the afternoon of and we walked down to pick him up, was glad Den got to see where to take him and pick him up--it's a bit of a labyrinth. I really like that it's just a class of 8 with 3 teachers and that he seems to do okay. I'd love to be able to watch him while there. They did post pictures from the first day of school--he was in almost every one. I'll be completely satisified when I see him smiling in one, that will mean he's comfortable and adjusted--or that someone tickled him right before they snapped the photo.

I like the art work, its age appropriate and cute for a door. I'm glad he is doing well at nursery school. Patrick's teacher says he is very quite, but plays nicely most of the time. Have a great weekend.

I knew he was a budding genius the moment I saw him. Must be in the genes.
