Art projects are not my strong suit as a mother. We have done some coloring and Jaydon finger painted with auntie but in general he does not get sucked into art projects very well and he certainly doesn't want to have to sit (or even stand) in one place for longer than a minute. I realize it is pretty important and so I will continue to work on it but in the meantime this was one of those little awwww moments. Jaydon was in the childcare toddler room at church and when the parents came back to pick them up they had made some sheep! Jaydon was so excited to show his sheep to his daddy (who hadn't made it to church due to too much school work)!
I heard someone, somewhere mention that taking pictures is a lot easier way of keeping the memories of all your kids art projects through the years then trying to keep everything. So while Jaydon's sheep will live on the fridge for probably months to come I have another avenue for remembering it in the future!

that might have been me! After we were buried in an avalanche of preschool art (none of which Ella wanted to part with), we settled on saving about one a month from our pile of favorites and taking pictures of the rest before recycling. Another bonus is if you take the pictures fairly regularly you will have a handy date on the file that lets you know when your child created it :)
