Yesterday Mia was painting at the easel and Aleeza asked if she could paint with Mia. Mia welcomed Aleeza to share the easel with her and handed her a paint brush. Two seconds later Lizzie asked if she could paint at the easel. Mia once again welcomed Lizzie to join her and Aleeza at the easel. From the very first day of Summer Fun, Mia has done a super job sharing with and welcoming the younger children including her brother Adam. Like Adam, for some of the children it's their very first experience away from their parents or caretaker. Mia, we all want to thank you for being such good sharer and role model...We appreciate you!
On another note it was very interesting to watch each child paint as they all had their own unique style of painting at the easel. Mia was in the middle and did not have a lot of space, so she dipped her brush in the paint, moved her brush in a circular motion keeping her brush at eye level. Aleeza moved her brush up and down the length of the paper tilting her head to the left as she painted. Lizzie used two brushes, one brush in each hand and moved her brushes up and down rather quickly. Sharing space with three people at one easel, is what I call tight quarters! The painting came out beautiful!
What sweet pictures! It's been so comforting knowing that Adam was being well taken care of by his teachers and by his big sister! It's also so nice to see our daughter looking so big! :)
