The Artist

One of our boys LOVES art. He brings home pages and pages of art from school, whether it is a page of colorful letters or coloring pages his teachers have created for him of recent topics at school.

Outside is no different. He loves the sidewalk chalk. Most of the time, he uses the wooden play set as his canvas. But Daddy recently poured this concrete pad in the back yard (for the pool in the summer, perhaps for a basketball goal next fall). Right now, it's Xander's canvas.

As you can see, his coloring skills have really improved. He still relies on me to make his outlines for pictures and even the words, though he could easily label them himself (just not make the block letters to color).

Xander. The lefty. Our little artist.
