August 26: The First School Project

Koen received an envelope in the mail from his Kindergarten teacher!  Inside was a letter introducing herself, a list of dates-to-know, and a boy-shaped cardboard cutout.  The instructions asked Koen to color the cutout as himself and then have Mom or Dad write a bit about him on the back.  Koen diligently worked on his cut out.  He's really been taking pride in his coloring and drawing these past few weeks.  The face he drew on "himself" was the best face I'd ever seen him draw, so I asked him where he learned to color like that.  Without looking up at me he replied, "Preschool."  It's funny how I never saw him do that before and three months after preschool ended he displays his drawing skills. :) 

Before I let Koen start on his cutout, I had used it to trace one for Ty to work on.  Tysen had great fun giving himself green and pink hair, on his tummy of course, and coloring all over his boy.
