"I feel like the President...or Popsy!" -Paris, Feb.3,2011

So this is how I find Paris laying in bed (but the sheets were down around her feet at the time), and she says, "I feel like the President! Or POPSY!!" I thought, "What?! What does she mean?" Sarah knew right away. She said, "Oh yeah! Popsy always does that when he is sitting in his bed. She looks just like him!" Then, Paris proceeds to mimic Popsy walking in his bedroom and climbing up into bed and getting comfy with his hands behind his head. The girls had me rolling at their clever observations of their Popsy. I'd say they nailed him in their impersonations of him!

Sarah's Monart Class projects from Nov. & Dec. 2010

Sarah so looks forward to her weekly art class. She is beginning to ask for her own art supplies (for her 10th birthday) to experiment with pastels at home in between art lessons. The great thing about Monart is all the supplies are provided for the kids. She is currently working on a sea turtle at Monart which is really cute as well. We couldn't be more pleased for her. We are so thankful she is getting to spend time developing her love of art. If Sarah is not reading, she is most definitely drawing- her two favorite passtimes by far! She is usually drawing with a pen and white computer paper, and most drawings involve families of people. She loves drawing many people on each page and naming all of them is half the fun for her! She often has little story lines for each group of people she's drawn. We talk about different illustrations and illustrators' styles as we read library books each week. I tell Sarah I could totally see her being a published author and illustrator one day!
