Finn and I had a play date with Chapin yesterday while Cari worked in Ruby and Ezra’s classroom for 1900s Day. It went spectacularly well. These boys played outside, inside, upstairs, downstairs; they never asked for a snack and barely looked up from their tasks.
First, they grabbed some instruments and had a parade in the front yard.
Next, they cut out the parade part and just played an original composition.
They did a little exercising.
And they worked on a little art. Chapin drew this picture of him and me. That’s him on the left with the curly hair, and me on the right with the long hair (and the big nose).
Finn had to get in on the act, so he made some pants for me and glued them on the picture.
Apparently, I wear my pants a little high.
(Chapin also had drawn himself as a baby in the middle.)
They ended their time together with train track building. What a pleasurable afternoon!
How cute. Good to see Finn in a leadership role but usually the wind instruments precede the drums.
