My dad use to love "helping" us too but it took all the fun out of us doing it ourselves because my dad can be quite OCD about making it perfect.

Middlest did a project which included making a greek plate and vase. Thankfully all the work was done in class with a very artistic teacher. She loved every minute of it. So glad Lily has one of the "good" ones. The time it took Mrs. F to make and send out those cards.... amazing. And yes, our kids do their own work, but sometimes its hard when they see the difference between theirs and the ones the parents did : (<br />Wonderful work Lily!<br />DanaGabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17988482720463035701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750966252794891890.post-13019623775296309652011-12-08T05:24:48.944-07:002011-12-08T05:24:48.944-07:00We were just talking about this yesterday.

Eloise had to make her own planet this week and when we brought in her lumpy, bumpy, less than round, yet adorable planet that she did 100% on her own - their were MASTERPIECES(parental made) lined up in the room and she almost burst into tears as hers was so 'ugly' compared to some others and I told her to hold her head high because she made hers all by herself and it's lovely..and then her teacher came over and pointed out to her what an incredible job she did thank goodness.

My son's kindergarten class sent home turkeys for families to "disguise" for Thanksgiving and then put them up in the halls to display. It was AMAZING how many were obviously done by parents. I was glad that my son had turned his in after doing it HIMSELF and that he was proud of it. That's what counts. Not it looking perfect by adult standards!M Mommy to 4https://www.blogger.com/profile/03737375508717572489noreply@blogger.com
