on kicking: I will forever treasure the memory of DS, when he was very little indeed, playing soccer with a basketry ball and about a dozen college kids. He was "walking" in a chest harness, and after a few easy kicks, he put one past one of the college kids, who, when they got over laughing at the guy who missed it, made a game of teaching him "real soccer." It was hilarious. DS was turning mid-run and diving for the ball, and they even got him heading it at one point. All the while with me trailing cartoon-like behind, trying not to drop him!
On art: yeah, that's my thing too.... I keep giving him crayons, in hopes this will be the week. I'd say he eats about a half a crayon a week, or thereabouts, and some finger-paint, to wash it down
I think it might be soon, though, he watched an older kid drawing on a white board about a week ago, and has been spontaneously scribbling (for a couple of seconds at a time) ever since. So this may be "it," and not just another read-ahead
Oh, life is good.
