Connor got interested in art from watching Aunt Cara's present "The Art Show" by Classical Baby. We started looking at some of mommy's art books, and he is particularly taken with Edvard Munch (he's also a Matisse fan, but says it looks "messy"). Here he is painting some beautiful limited edition Connor surrealist works and reenacting "The Scream".
If anyone is looking for a nice series, "Classical Baby" can't be beat. When we're on long trips, the boys beg to watch one of them. Connor loves the Poetry Show too, and recites several poems from it by memory -- as a result, we've been reading a few poems with each bedtime story time. Grandma Crean sent him a book of poetry called "Flamingos on the Roof" which has proven to be a favorite; Connor says it's "silly potrie" and really, that's the best kind. Oddly enough my favorites from Shel Silverstein don't seem to capture his attention. Robert Service, Robert Frost and Emily Dickinson are real favorites though, and Christine Rossetti makes him hug himself in happiness.
Timmy loves sing songy poetry and is a huge fan of exclamation points.
Uh oh...the Connorator wants me to teach him how to nurse his space shuttle to sleep. I better go...those space shuttles can have latch problems!
