Yesterday, the boys had their second Art class. The night before, Relic was coughing a lot and couldn't sleep well, so didn't I. That's why we woke up late and had to run to get ready and go to the class. I was trying to feed the boys their breakfast on every red light. River was good and ate some but Relic just wanted to drink milk.
In the class, Relic was sitting close to their teacher and was listening carefully, but River wanted to play. With the help of their teacher Relic did finish their projects which were an apple tree and a big apple, but River wanted to run away with his paintbrush. He did paint his pants and mine pretty well 
I am not sure if River just had bad moments and didn't want to be with his class or if he doesn't like the class. I just don't know what to do. If I had just River, I would leave the class and let River go to play but Relic really likes the class and we have to let him enjoy. River really likes Gymboree classes, so it is not like he doesn't enjoy any of the classes, but still it is hard for me to see that River has to stay in a class that he is not enjoying much.
It is sooo encouraging to see how much you try for your boys. Taking them to classes and caring for them, you worry so much about them and your love is evident. I wanted to tell you how proud i am of you for being such a fantastic mother.
ReplyDeleteI would have thought that River would be the artist and Relic the one running around the room. Well, maybe it is more artistic to paint pants than apple trees, too. If Relic produces a few pictures, scan them and send them to charles@worldartexhibit.org, haha. I will surely make him some pages on The Great Virtual Art Exhibit. The only thing that scares me about that is that all the other artists will give up and go home when they see what really GREAT art is!
ReplyDeleteHugs to both boys, and my love to all of you
