Luke is picking up my bad habits. Tonight in the car he started a statement with the phrase, "Holy Crap, Mom!" Eesh.
Rahsjay has gotten a major couple of boosts about how capable he is in art classes. He brought home two wonderful self portraits that demonstrated a strong ability to see value - one a collage and the other done in a gray scale. His art teacher wants to enter them in the Scholastic Art Competition next fall, and recommended an art camp this summer. I've registered him for that - a week at Blackacre with a different artist every day - pretty light but a good experience. His art teacher also is writing a recommendation for a series of art classes through the Louisville Visual Art Association, and he's really excited about the classes after seeing the exhibit this weekend. Rich and I are both really glad to see him focus on something other than sports as a skill, especially since this is a more genuine talent.
He's also reading for pleasure now, sometimes for hours a day. Of course....it's Twilight (teenage vampires). Still, reading!
