Everyday at daycare we bring home some sort of artistic work from Kailan, and occasionally Anya.\u00a0 We think that Kailan is bound to be an artist; as most of his “paintings” look fairly similar to a lot of modern art.\u00a0 We should try to sell some on Ebay, truely.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Early on and being a first time parent, we would dutifully put his project for the day in a pile to put in a scrapbook or keepsake box.\u00a0 After the first month we realized how idiotic that was.\u00a0 All of the projects were just busy work for the daycare teachers to get two seconds of breathing time in the midst of the chaos that is a classroom full of toddlers.\u00a0 Now, we look at them, ask Kai was his depiction was (bug, car, elephant\u2026), get an unintelligible answer, wait for him to turn his back and throw it away. \u00a0Occasionally, we will put one up to share his talent with any guests that come over, as if saying \u201cSee how lucky we are to have these beautiful works of \u201cart” and don’t you want one?\u00a0 We have plenty!”<\/p>\n

The latest project to grace the gallery (a.k.a. refrigerator) is Kailan\u2019s depiction of a bug. \u00a0It is a masterpiece of colored construction paper on a white backdrop. \u00a0It appears to be several bugs trod upon by adult feet, thus showing Kailan\u2019s pain as a toddler being constantly trod upon by us Parents and various other caregivers.\u00a0 We are forever demanding that he eat, take baths and not wack his sister in the head with his light saber. \u00a0Can you feel his pain, his frustration?\u00a0 Can you feel it??<\/p>\n

Occasionally we are graced by observing his creative process at home. \u00a0He has also taken his sister on as his pupil and teaching her all about the intricacies of art.\u00a0 Of course, that is when she isn\u2019t trying to eat the markers and chalk.<\/p>\n
