Our new set-up in the kitchen has been working exactly like I hoped it would. In fact, it’s almost working a little too well. The kids are so independent and creative with their work, they aren’t needing me nearly as much. Which is good, because I am often running interference, so Micah doesn’t grab their projects. But I am missing the time to sit with them and watch their creative process.
This past week, however, Micah got his very own booster chair, which should allow him to join in the fun from a safe distance. I am excited, and hoping I can find a few more moments to sit down with all of the kids and get back into the flow of things.
In the meantime, here are some of the things I have managed to take pictures of.

(Ian requested that I put this “very cool picture” up “where you put pictures on the computer for people to see.” He tells me that it is the sky and space.)

Chava’s letter for the neighbor girl. The yellow squiggles are apparently wings.
These are really interesting to me, because Ian drew them both in the same day – and there’s an obvious progression in the drawings.
