My Athletic Artist

Today is the last soccer game for Chan. I think we will all be happy, we have soccer burnout! Chan's favorite thing about soccer is the snacks after. Often you will see him on the field chit-chatting with other players or he will chase the cobwebs flying in the air and sometimes he gets his aggressive soccer face on and really plays (none of my children have and ounce of competitiveness in them). Sometimes after practice when Chan is all sweaty he loves the look because it makes him "look like a real soccer player"
This is his true passion- anything to do with art. His teachers are amazed. He proudly tells me that any projects he does the teachers always want to keep extra long so they can show other students and teachers (it is true). This picture was done for a postcard that they had to make for a story read in class. He loves the fact that often during lunch kids from other classes will commission him to draw the one of a kind piece for them. I see a future here!

Coloring was his favorite part of our Primary lesson...I see his talent just keeps developing! I can't wait to get to buy his work one day, it's going to be awesome.

Wow! Fruity! Living in California has helped Chan get his artistic perspective of "real fruits" perfected! Good job, Chan-Man! I'd keep your projects if I was your teacher! You're better than some of my 5th graders!

Chandler,
Grandma want's to commission you for a picture. You choose what it will be and I will frame it.
My friend Nancy also wants you to do one for her she likes flowers, especially Sun Flowers. You can send them both to me and I will give Nancy hers.
Thanks,
Love Grandma Susan
