Slide aRt

Yesterday afternoon I thought I would expose Henry-kun to some art and crafts. We signed up for a free art class at the department store near my house. Well at first my young man was so curious and attentive. He sat down and nicely listened to the instructor's lecture. Then after 5 minutes he spotted the indoor slide. That was it for his art class. Nothing could stop this man. He was having so much fun that I ended up completing his art project for him. It was a lovely eco-friendly pencil making class. I made two pencils and hopefully when he is older he can return to art class. Goes to show that venue is very important when planning for young kids. Henry wasn't the only child who was lured away from the art and lecture. Notice some kids waiting in line for their turn on the slide. My boy is now fairly athletic and very confident on the slide. We are fortunate enough to have a slide in our complex. And even more fortunate that the playground is visible from our veranda. That means that when Mummy comes home tired and ready to sleep - Henry-kun hears kids playing and we must go out to join them. I keep telling him he has only one more chance to slide. Once more turns into 30 more. He can slide for 30 to 40 minutes each time. PHEW...
