I love my special time with Weston. I have always enjoyed taking mom n tot classes with my kids. This class is no exception. The same wonderful teacher, that taught Lance and I, is still teaching the Mom n Tot Clay Class at the Mesa Arts Center.
Weston has some much fun sculpting and painting various projects. He doesn't get tired of working on his art. Zane was much the same way...and he still enjoys art.
Weston insited that he take a picture too (if I got to take some of him), so I posed with some of our clay cut-outs. I think Wes did pretty good at keeping me in the frame:). Maybe there's a little focusing issue here, but the out 0f focus technique softens wrinkles very well. What do you think?
A proud boy showing off some finished work - plates with animals on them (and the animals were made by tracing his hand in various positions on the clay).
WAY to GO WESTON!
Wes is going to the same preschool that Zane went to. Way back then, this was Zane's favorite book from preschool. Now it is Wes' fav. I love it. It is a song all about the colors - to the tune of Skip To My Lou. I loved it when Zane sang the song. He somehow misprounced words in that special toddler way that made it sooooo adorable. Good memories of that! Now, I love listening to Wes sing the song as he "reads" the book. Weston has carried this book EVERYWHERE. (Notice the WORN look of the book:). He took it to my sisters and taught her two year old the song one day when she babysat him. When he talks about what color something is, he always calls it by the name in the book - Mello Yellow, Sue Blue, Jean Green, Jack Black, etc. I love it!!!
He loves it so much that he even fell asleep one day reading it. Now, that's a good book! Definitely a recommended book for your reading list! (if you have a toddler:)
