From our resident artist...


As each school day passes, Theo is more and more comfortable and in love with going.


Every time we pick him up, his back pack holds a new preschool treasure. Something created by my sweet, little boy. Something that he put his mind and his heart into (even if it was just a fraction...)


No matter how small...


I'm never going to be able to throw any of this away!!! 

(That's it... we'll need a storage shed!)

Seriously Emily. It's so hard when the bring all these gorgeous things home that you want to keep...and they pile up....I have so many of Buddy's preschool things. And now Ella's. And given our limited storage, as you know, I have to be a bit more selective with what I keep. I love that you've shared all his artwork with us. I can't wait to see how it develops.

Oohhh ... those little projects always make my heart flutter. I'll be checking back when you have six more years of all these projects (x3!) and see if you still have them all! ;-)

I, of course, will also try to keep them all - I just have no clue where they will go!

YAY! You get ART projects?!?
How awesome is THAT!
Oh they are just sooooo precious.
I know I will have a really hard time getting rid of any them myself.
Theo Da Vinci Samson. Nice! :)

A HUGE (seriously HUGE) storage shed!! I finally gave up--with 3 kids and all the projects--I would have to move out of the house! Pick and chose and that's the only way I can keep it sorta habitable. I'm serious--a HUGE!!! storage shed.

The best part is that Theo himself calls them his "projects." Like a little business man or something. I'm glad I got to see them, if only for a minute!
