Seth's Schoolwork

Seth is learning a lot in kindergarten. He is reading and writing more and more everyday. He loves to draw pictures and spend time at the homework table on his own when inspiration hits. He always wants a new spiral notebook when we go to the store. And he always likes getting new drawing tools (pencils, pens, markers, crayons, paints). So for his upcoming 6th birthday, we got him a marker and watercolor pad of paper, a spiral sketchbook, new watercolors, and a set of Crayola markers called "over writers" which allows the color to show when you write over another color (I can't wait to see how well these work).

Here is a sample of some of his latest work in school. He got nice star stickers for his effort. I like that the sentences he came up with both have to do with his Daddy and he has drawn himself in the picture with him. Notice the squinty eyes he has given himself in the "hat" picture to show that he's laughing at the silly hat on his Dad's head. He still draws boy hair like mountains in up and down zig zag (with girls he makes circular spirals like spaghetti piled up on the head). I like his unique spelling of the word treasure in the "map" one. Notice the treasure map in his Dad's hand and the train... he says that these are "details." And to hear that word come out of his mouth is dang cute and I know that he has been paying attention to what his teacher says.

Seeing how much he loves to draw reminds me of when I was little and announced that I was going to be a "drawer" when I grew up. Not a drawer like in a chest of drawers, but as in a person who draws... an artist.
