Magic Marker Mondays: Getting a Feel For the Holidays

It's been a while since I've posted some of James' artwork. He has been getting better at sitting down and focusing on projects in general. He has grabbed at least 2 pads of paper and scribbled on every page. His sister did this at ages 2-3. Speaking of which, his sister has enrolled him in her school, KJS. She is starting to work with him on his letter and numbers. She is his hero. He is one lucky kiddo!

Anyhow, James' school ran a great holiday fundraiser, with crafts. James is not much of a sticker & markers person, but he did enjoy stringing and wearing a macaroni necklace:

He enjoyed getting into baking pumpkin muffins to share at school:

And on New Year's Day at the beach, he got into the tactile sensation of the wet sand. He made sand angels. We had him help us make the new year date for the first time:

Sand angels! Cool - my cousin was just lamenting that she missed snow angels (moved from Canada to Australia) but she could totally make them in the sand ;)
