Bailey taught Jessica how to draw a frog-dragon with a gnome-king riding on it

Bailey's demonstration drawing. Jessica's replica.  There are step-by-step instructions, I'm looking forward to trying one later. Nice, Bailey!

Bailey and Netta's awesome concert

Last night Bailey and Netta performed a little thing with their first grade friends and I took some photos. They did so good! Can you find Bailey!?!? Slightly nervous Netta. Their friend Hannah doing a line. Bailey doing the Do-Si-Do! Their purple crayon friend Lillian  [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXTZJ6acRUU?rel=0] Their friend Hazel doing a nice little dance thing.

Spring in Minnesota!

Expressive Art

Image
With a nudge from his grandmother Joanna, Art was in Oliver ! For the past 3 months he's been going to weekly performances. He had a tiny part and was incredibly nervous at first but at the end he made lots of friends, especially a retired couple Sherry and Bob. They adored Art, brought him snacks each week and reported back about all the ways he came out of his shell. "He's a pied piper," Bob said. Art taught a whole bunch of kids how to play chess and just loved being in a community of expressive people who accepted him. So happy for Art! Here are a few photos. Art's biggest fan, Bob.
