Jaxon's Art Work

As much as I want to save EVERYTHING my kids make, it's not possible. I mean they're only 2 and 4, the cute, handmade art will only increase from here, so I have to pick and choose. My mom had the fantastic idea to buy a 3-ring binder and fill it with page protectors, then put the projects and art I can't live without in the binder. My goal is one binder per year, starting with preschool. That's managable, right? And it's much easier to store and label things that way. So for now, everything gets displayed on the fridge for a few days, then when the space is needed for the next great art piece, I decide if it's something we keep and it goes in the binder. Things that don't get kept, I try to take pictures of, so at least I'll be able to look at them for years to come. Here's some fantastic art Jaxon did during free time at preschool one day:

I must add that he is super proud of the fact that he knows how to spell everyone's name in our family. And since this photo was taken (about a month ago), he has learned to write our names with lowercase letters and our bodies now have arms, feet, and sometimes clothes and shoes! Kid art rocks!!
