So....Keaton just walked in the door from school.
He got his papers out, just like he does every day...and showed them to me.
Notice the 2 funny brown "colored out" marks on this paper (zoomed in below)
It is hard to see on this scan, but those are an "X" and a "-1"
that his teacher had written in red...
and he colored over with brown.
And then he wrote "ok" at the top in pencil....
Whobody had a little talk about honesty?....
and that it is okay to get things wrong sometimes at school as long as we try our best.
This is SO Keaton, so I had to share it. He doesn't like to be "wrong" and it is a very sweet part of his personality....the people pleasing part. But, obviously, honesty is more important than people pleasing, so we need to work on that a little bit.
p.s. Although it was wrong of him to correct his teacher's corrections...
I still think it is awful cute!
These are the kind of things I want to remember when he is in high school....
and testing my limits. :)
I think the instructions to number one are complicated! He's just showing an advanced understanding of artistic perspective and outside-the-box-thinking. He colored three objects yellow, all of which are on a plane just in front of the tree. I would demand an apology from the schoolboard for this garbage! - Uncle Steven
