~Toot's habit training has proven fruitful. His art teacher raved about his progress with listening and following her directions yesterday. He also seemed to make great improvements with staying on task and not being distracted easily. Amazingly (by God's grace), Toot has not complained one time about the great reduction in his "media" time. He gets his time on Thursday nights from 6:30 until bath time to play his Wii. The rest of the week he doesn't mention it. And he and Jaybird have been outside so much more, playing checkers and reading more, too. They "dug a hole to China" last week, which thrilled me to no end.
2. The art teacher chose Durer as the artist of the week. I became curious from the brief biography that she sent home and studied further. Durer lived during the Reformation and was a friend of Martin Luther. In fact, I think he painted his portrait. This man's talent was extraordinary. I am especially impressed with his woodcut technique. Here is an example.

And here is Toot's own masterpiece. The letter block stamping at the top gave him the feel of using a similar woodcut stamp.
I am glad to be learning together!
