Art Show

When I picked up Merik from school the other day he told me, "Mom I need to invite my grandparents and my family to join me for the art show next week!" (Obviously his teachers had told him to say this.) I told him his grandparents were very far away. He said, "That's okay. I'll just call them and they will get on an airplane and fly out to Dallas." In the end I convinced him that they would be happy if we took some pictures for them so here you go.... In honor of Spring time they have been learning about bugs for a few weeks. Of course Merik LOVES it. What little boy wouldn't? His class worked together on this "Mosaic Bee" and the honey comb. Also the picture on the bottom left is Merik's self portrait from the second day of class. I wish I had thought to take a picture of his more recent self portrait hanging on the other side of the bee. I'm proud to say there is a little improvement! More bugs! Do you think he is proud of himself?! We made the mistake of stopping for cookies and brownies before we were on our way out the door. Let the silliness begin!

These last two were also class projects. His teachers are, as the kids say, "The Long Miss Kathy" and "The Short Miss Kathy". The class is made up of 12 4 year olds. I had to take Merik in a little late the other day and as we walked in the front door his class was passing by on their way to music. They all stopped and started yelling "Yeah Merik is here!" He felt pretty special and ran off with them before I could say goodbye. One little girl always tells her mom stories about "the cute boy" in class. I think he is well liked!
