J had his first Art Show in August. We know beyond a shadow of a doubt that we are biased when it comes to his artwork, but we think he's doing quite well. We only intended for his art lessons to last for the summer, but it was evident that he was in this for the long haul.
After dropping him off for class one day, I called Jeremy to say I had experienced a rare moment...the kind you do not have very often as a parent. The moment when you absolutely know that what you've done is right. I know that art is right for this little guy. He beams the entire way to his lesson and is crushed when his time is over.
This is one parenting decision we will never have to question.
