Excursions into the field of art with Parker can be….uh….how do I say this..
terrifying.
The weeping. The wailing. The gnashing of teeth.
And that is just from ME, folks.
Ahem.
But, since I believe art is such an important part of a child’s learning experience, I persist.
Our latest endeavor is entitled Autumn Leaves.
The Technique
The Medium
The Beautiful Assistant, McCall
The Concentration
The Glow That Follows A Job Well Done
The Masterpiece.
Magic Marker Monday is a new Meme hosted by Michelle (from In The Life Of A Child) over at 5 Minutes For Special Needs.
This Meme is open to EVERYONE. If you have a child, a grandchild, a niece, a nephew, ANY child in your life that loves to create, you are invited to participate. It is by no means reserved just for children with special needs.
Just kids that are special. Period.
So. What are you waiting for? Come on over and join in the fun!
What a wonderful job he did! The colors are so wonderful and make me long for autumn…
I love it, so “fall-ish”
Good job Parker! (Even if art is a little scary for Ma Ma:)
WOW! He did a great job. I love his proud smile!!!!
Parker, that is so beautiful!! I LOVE it! That looks like so much fun, I bet my boys would like to do that too! McCall is so beautiful!!! I am jealous
Parker’s smile says it ALL!!!
Love you,
Amy
awesome job!!! heck, I need to try that with my kiddos – good OT exercise (how pathetic is this that I find therapy in everything! Can’t even enjoy the small stuff! ACK!!!)
GREAT job Parker!!!!
Kudos to both of you! A great project and a beautiful piece :0)
Oh, I should try stampers, too. Kayla’s 4 and can’t even scribble yet. She doesn’t look at her work, so I don’t know if I can get her interested in art. She just doesn’t seem to care. And I have so many art supplies from my older daughter. Sigh.
Good job Parker. Keep up the good work and I hope you gain some weight. Just so you know I am praying for you to gain some weight.
Excellent job! I can’t believe fall is almost here. I love the smile on his face. He’s so proud of himself.
Beautiful artwork!!! I love his smiles too!!!
Way To Go, Parker! I love his smile of accomplishment!
Awesome job Parker! I love it & your smiles too!
What a great job Parker! I love Fall and Leaves and you did a great job! I’d frame and hang that one!
Too cute! I’m sure he had a wonderful time doing it!!!!!!!!!!!
Wonderful! I have to tell you – when I was little, mom and I used to make “leaf ladies.” I still have one and have made them with Nora many, many times. The body, of course, is a fall leaf glued to a piece of paper – imagination finishes the “lady.” I cannot wait to make Elliot’s first one! I’ll try to find a photo! Love you, Parker! xoxo from Elliot and his momma!
awwwww! TRULY a masterpiece. His smile is beautiful!!
BEAUTIFUL!
I found your blog through Rhett’s Journy. I have a 1½ year old son with Noonan syndrome (somewhat similar to DS). He was born with a CHD: Tetralogy of Fallot + DORV, PDA and PFO.
We lived his first 9 months in the hospital. He’s been on oxygen and CPAP for long periods, but that resolved when he had his fundoplication last December.
He’s 50% tube fed and has had 6 surgeries so far and we’re going in for a head- and spine-MRI under sedation in a few weeks (to investigate tethered cord and ACM).
My son can’t stand, walk or talk yet, we use signing and he gets around “bouncing” on his bum;-).
Kind regards,
Mia mom to Victor,
Aland Islands, Finland
PS. My blog is in Swedish, but there’s some pictures and a brief summary in English.
Adorable! The smile on his face is priceless!!!
Absolutely stunning! Both the artwork and that priceless smile!
(Sorry it took me so long to stop by Tammy — been chasing my tail all week! Just got out of the ER tonight around midnight too — long story *sigh*)
Parker is doing such great work and it always makes my week to see one of those smiles of his!
