Budding Artists

In the past, Ammon and Abe have NOT enjoyed drawing, or even coloring, for that matter. Even their primary teachers came to us and asked if something was wrong with them, "Why don't they like to color? All the other kids like to color." It wasn't until our niece Marissa moved here last summer that Abe finally took an interest in coloring. Ammon decided it was alright too, so he started doing some of his own. With Ammon in kindergarten and now first grade, he's had a lot more opportunities to do actual drawings. It's been fun to see him get more and more creative. Here are the latest projects he brought home.

I've also tried to encourage Abe to do his own drawings instead of always coloring, but he says he's just not good at it. Well, just a few weeks ago, Abraham surprised me when he presented me with "a drawing of our family"... his very first real drawing. Here it is.
Not to say that he's drawing all the time now, but he is doing it more often and he's getting quite good! This is his latest, a "Star Wars spaceship."
