A1 attends a co-op, developmental preschool. The co-op part means that the parents, along with the teacher, plan and implement the program. The developmental part means that we believe that knowledge is best acquired, integrated, and applied in a natural play setting (as opposed to the rigid structure imposed by academic preschools). And you know what there's a lot of in developmental programs?
Art.
So much art.
So much BIG art.
And honestly, I don't keep it all. To ease the guilt of throwing away my son's masterpieces, I photograph
every
single
one
of them!
I try to do it near the time it was created so that the file is stamped with an accurate date.

Taking photos of them sounds like a great way to keep the art around... without actually keeping them around.
That is such a great idea... I too feel horribly guilty when I have to say bye-bye to one of her masterpieces, but if I didn't, the house would be over-run! I love that you have such a complete record of A1's creations...
Love that idea too! Are you working on your "website." I still check it as well and it said it was down.. Just thought i would check. :)
No, the family website is officially dead. It took so long to update and blogging is soooo much easier. It was a surprisingly painful decision because I loved that layout so much (plus all the work that had gone into it!). Thank you very much for asking.
