Art Showcase - Drawings done by J

J looks forward to his weekly home-based art lessons. On the day of the lesson, he will often sit by the balcony to look out for his teacher to arrive. And when the doorbell rings, he would rush to the door and greet the teacher with a exuberant hello. Ask him what he wants to be when he grows up and he would say "Artist".

After every lesson, I would be amazed at the quality of work being produced. Even though it is more pricey as compared to group learning but I am happy to see him enjoying the lessons so much.

J had some difficulty associating with an old-fashion steam train as he's not seen one b4.

This is the 1st drawing from this class. This is the one that blew my mind away.

Palm Sunday

Very often, you will find J in my home office painting or doing craft. As I check on him, he was working on a craft work. It looks very abstract to me so I asked him what it is. He points to the cross and said "This is the cross that Jesus died for us.". I asked him what the green, beige and brown patches are and he mumbled some answers. Then I asked what the the red patches are and he said "Jesus' blood. This picture is abt the Cross and the blood of Jesus."

On this palm sunday, I am reminded of God's love through the art of a little child.



For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,

that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

John 3:16

Oops

M's recently started using the word "stupid" whenever he needs to express anger or frustration. This is an unacceptable word in our household. When I was disciplining M, J asked me what does “stupid” means and why we can’t use it. I explained to him that it is not an encouraging word as it means that a person is not very smart. J nodded his head in understanding.

A few days later, I had a conversation with K and he simply could not understand what I was trying to say and in frustration, I said “Dear, you are not very smart hor.”

J turned around and looked at me with a cheeky face and said “Mum, Daddy is something like stupid, right?”.
