Ben, age 6, came home from school with this wonderful macaroni man made from dry macaroni. My husband and I were curious of Ben's actual participation in the creation of this masterpiece. I had the opportunity to ask the teacher about this pasta person, and she said that Ben had to pick up the noodle from the table and give it to the teacher, then she did the rest. Sounds good to us - Bravo!
I wish I had more time to write on eSpeciallyBen . Ben teaches us lessons on a regular basis: Smile often, give hugs, sit down and savor the moment, grab someone's hand to let them know you care and laugh with abandon–even if it annoys your brother. Ben will be 18 this summer. He attends high school in-person and enjoys seeing his classmates and teachers each day. In the photo above, it's 6 a.m. and he's can't wait to get on the bus. As for most people, the pandemic has been tough. Ben's in-person activities, camps and programs were canceled. He's happy to see grandma when we met on a Charlotte greenway or park. Ben seeks out social interactions and being quarantined away from friends and family was even more difficult because he didn't understand why. Ben's teacher sends me photos of him throughout the week. They just finished a rousing game of catch here. Thank you for following eSpeciallyBen. If you want to see what I'm working on now, find me
That is so cute. What a neat idea.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Ben
Bravo indeed! Excellent fine motor activity. I think I'm going to give it a try with Jack sometime.
ReplyDeleteThat turned out so cool! I'd forgotten about pasta projects -- I have a box of colored pasta that I picked up for crafts -- wonder what I did with that?
ReplyDeleteGreat work, Ben!
