art school

Isaiah and Marian got to attend art school during their summer vacation from AM Chinese preschool.  What a blessing these sweet young girls were to teach our kids and inspire them so!

The first morning we were about 5 minutes late and I joked, "we'll have to tell the teachers it was because traffic was so bad during our commute."  The problem is:  the art school door is straight across the hall from us-  about 6 steps from our front door.  Truly, the perfect set up for this busy house of kiddos!

The first day Wang Laoshi had Isaiah and Marian draw a little something, just to guage where they were at.  They looked at a fake pear in front of them and tried to draw it.  Immediately she notice, "oh, so she's got lots of imagination and he's more of a realist."  Yep.  She nailed it.

She missed the other aspect about our boy, that perhaps since he's a realist, he likes to correct most everything that, in his view, is skewed a bit.  The other day he was sitting at the table and asked Matt and I, who were standing in the kitchen, "do you know how much water you're supposed to drink every day?"  Matt answered, "a lot."  And Isaiah corrected his dad:  "No, more than that."
