Alex's Favorite Subject

Alex has a new favorite subject this year.  It's art class!  Too bad he only has it one day a week.  On Friday he had to do a water color painting of a tree, so he chose to do a painting of the pine tree in our front yard.  I think it turned out pretty well for a first attempt!

 This week is going better than it did last week.  At least we have been able to avoid major tantrums thus far.  There's been a little whining here and there when an assignment called for writing, but I've found that if I just leave the room, he at least gets going on it.  It still takes him a long time, but it's progress.
