art by shawn

Shawn Marks age 5

This is quite new. Shawn has been showing interest in language, numbers, and art. He is beginning to sound out words. He also began drawing this year. I love this self portrait, especially the red hair. He was so proud of it. Both of the girls always encourage him, and of course whatever they are doing, he wants to do - beading, collaging, painting, drawing.

He is more focused now and will play for 30 minutes at one task. He also loves playdough. Here he is making a cookie.
