Salem Picasso
If you blow this photo up, you can see that Salem holds her pinky finger out just like I do(when I drink, write, etc.) It is so cute!
We've had a busy week. Sunday-Thursday we had two sets of friends in-town visiting. With the heat and all, we ventured out to Sea World, Shlitterbahn, and the Children's Museum on multiple occasions (hey, at least I'm taking advantage of all the season passes we have over the summer, right?) I must also report that Salem met with her gymnastics class again on Tues., and it was like she was an entirely different child. A major success! She followed directions, waited her turn, listened, sat in a line (WOW!), and enjoyed herself like no other! Keep your fingers crossed that this behavior continues because as of today, Yaya is here visiting for a week! We have lots to do and many of things planned over Yaya's trip! Tomorrow, Andrew is taking over Salem duties to give my Mom and I some time to go shopping and head up to Austin. Then, on Sunday, Andrew will have a relaxing Father's Day floating on the river with some of our friends....I'm jealous!
Also, Salem started her art classes this past Wednesday, and she loved, loved, loved it! It's an hour long class once a week where they'll be following an "art curriculum" guideline over the summer. It's very organized and it appears that she'll be doing some pretty cool activities. This past week, she painted in the painting room (and she wouldn't wear a smock for the life of her), the teacher read two books on mud, and then the children played and pounded clay, and eventually turned it into a hand-print that the teacher is going to fire for us! Salem will get to decorate it and along with next week's theme which is: Monet's Garden!
Ms. Picasso herself!
Sitting and listening to the mud stories
Getting her clay nice and flat with the rolling pin
Working on perfection with her hand-print
And this is how she looked when she was finished!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Wow that art class looks like fun. The art museum in Fayetteville NC had a program called Art Tales when we were there and Julia was 3. They met in the basement and the teacher read 3 stories and then the kids did a craft related in some way to the stories. They never got to do paint or clay though. I guess it's a class you got to sit in on? Do the parents "help" their child in any way? What kind of business is it through? How many classes will she go to? What's the age range? Too many questions... just looks like fun and something all my kids would love to do!
Joanna-
Yes, it's a class designed for the parents to "help" the children when needed. We cannot leave them or drop them off until the age of 5. There are 12 classes total with the program running at $100 per session. The company is called artworks--an art studio for children. It is soooooo cool! If I had extra time on my hands and was "art blessed", I would consider running a business like this!
Look at her in that last picture! That is the picture of a child that just enjoyed themselves :0) I love that there are those opportunities out there, very cool!
Wow. That sounds like a great deal - and probably would be a nice business to run, too!
Looks like Salem had a lot of fun. Is it only offered on Tuesdays?
Sam-
The art classes are offered Wed.'s from 4:15-5:15 for their age level (18 months-3 years).
