We did it a few years ago, and E. loves getting it ready, planting and watering (and sometimes weeding). <br /><br />And then when something actually grows, and you can eat it? Priceless. Last time, one of the things we planted was parsley, and it grows in every year now. This year we picked it and used it for our Pesach seder for the green herb that's eaten.Staying Afloathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06228636990839399469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-32453474947115646812012-04-23T14:33:12.612-04:002012-04-23T14:33:12.612-04:00Amen!!

Nora is just a year old, so I have to get creative about fostering her creativity :) I need to think about it more.

Now, as a child, most of his endeavors were a little unfocused...he had an obsession with getting paper wet and putting it in a baggie. But as he's matured, so have his creative ideas. He spends a lot of time every day on various projects, and uses youtube to watch instructional videos on bookbinding, sketching, etc. We are lucky enough to have an art studio here (Turner Center for the Arts) that has an open studio every weekday for artists with and without disabilities. Tevis is also driven to have his own business, so he is working to produce notecards with his artwork. He sort of blows me away!Galenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02133622477462629829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-59086806780317981652012-04-23T10:11:43.250-04:002012-04-23T10:11:43.250-04:00You're right of course.

It is easy to get bogged down in the basics: learning to walk, talk, etc. Creativity is important too.<br />Ashley loves a scribble - sometimes he even uses paper. He adores music and tries to dance - oh he does dance Ashleystyle!<br />His best efforts come from voice sampling on a DSi. I often hear something I've just said come back distorted into a bird song or a robot chant. That's creative, isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
