Aw, I adore kid art. My sister now has a BA in Fine Art; yet, my favorite piece of her's is a painting she did in the fourth grade. It is hung in our dining area, I love it.
Henry is a really creative guy and it makes me so happy to see him at work. He is going to be an artist like my sister, I think! :)
We were cleaning out the garage this weekend, and I found a drawing I did of my uncle flying an airplane. I drew it when I was 5 or so, and it was...amazing, haha. It looks so similar to the things William draws now, just a bit more sophisticated. I can hardly wait to see the things he's coming up with a couple years from now. :D
I love seeing inspiration hit William. Last night (when he drew the new monster) he was sitting at the table, and all of a sudden said "I need my paper and something to draw with!!" and I handed it to him from the counter and he started drawing like he knew exactly what he wanted it to be. Then he drew a couple more that were similar. I really wish I could be inside his head to see what gave him the idea, ya know?
I can't remember what the site is, but there was this really hilarious site where this guy critiqued childrens art really harshly, like as if it were a professional work. But I remember everyone was up in arms about it, and it was like come on people, think about whose really getting bashed here? children or the snobby art world?
I'm getting ready to transition Alex into a toddler bed. The one's without the railing still scare me for now. He fell off the couch again the other night so he's definately not ready to have a bed where if he keeps rolling he'll roll right off. Rails needed for now.
The best part about this one is that its only about 6 inches (at most) off the floor. So even if he rolls out (and he has) he's still pretty safe. Besides, I have the extra crib/toddler mattress underneath, and I pull it out when he's sleeping, so the drop is about 3 inches down onto a mattress, haha.
That is an excellent idea with the mattress.I think if Alex was sleeping and rolled onto another matress that was that close down he's still stay asleep lol. I have to find a good bed, I want to get a convertible 4-in-1 crib so he can still use the crib and then have a toddler bed, day bed and when he's really big a full sized bed. They grow sooo fast!
Good plan on the 4-in-1. I'm not sure if ours turns into a double or daybed... but it's a crib and "toddler bed" - which is just a three-sided crib, haha. They do grow so fast. Dan wanted to get William a car bed (he asked for one) and I said no because he'll grow out of that waaaaaaaay faster than a plain old twin or double. I always like to buy things they can use for a while - cheaper and a lot less wasteful! :)
