My son just assembled the puzzles by himself. There are 4 types of Jip & Janneke puzzle. The first one (start looking on your upper right corner) has 4 pieces, second one has 6 pieces, the third puzzle has 9 pieces and the last one is the most complicated it has 16 pieces. Not bad for a 4 year old kid, right ! At first, he was hesitant to do it alone but I just look at him and said "Tu sais très bien assembler le puzzle tout seul. Tu vas y arriver !" (You know very well to assemble the puzzle alone. I know you can make it !). I guess it is just a matter of having confidence in them even it is for small things! While growing up they merit and develop self-confidence which starts at home.
This one is so cute and funny! If we talk about art, I am maybe the worse person that ever existed on earth ! In short, I am null ! Otherwise, I know how to appreciate good art. In fact, it is one of my frustrations....to be an artist! Boy, I really admire the artists like my brother who is really a born artist and Kala! Sigh.....anyway, we can't have everything don't we!
So what do you think friends ? Is it like mother like son thing ?! LOL It was funny because while he did this, we had a funny conversation !
Basti : Je vais dessiner Papa avec des lunettes. (I am going to draw Papa with sunglasses.)
Me : Ben oui, tu peux le faire! (Yes, can do that! )
Basti : Et toi, Maman ? Tu n'est pas en colere ici, hah ! ( And you Mama ? You're not angry here, hah !)
Me : Pourquoi je serai? Non, je ne le suis pas! (Why will I be? No, I am not !) It is maybe because they always see me getting angry everytime they make silly things ! hehehe
Basti : Ca c'est moi, je suis beau ! (And this is me, I am handsome !) Now he's being confident !
Me : Bien sûr, tu es très beau mon fils ! ( Of course, you are handsome my son!)
Basti : Et Mimi, c'est ça. Elle est belle mais elle est petite encore ! (And Mimi, there she is. She is pretty but she is still small. )
Me : Tu crois elle est belle ? (You think she's beautiful ?)
Basti : Ben oui ! ( Oh yes! )
I am keeping his drawing and even scanned it ! Later on I have many things to show him and tell stories how he was in his younger years. Worth keeping and worth blogging !

Their works are precious, aren't they haze. Ako rin, I keep their drawings and journals from school in binders. Dumadami na nga at sumisikip na rin dito sa bahay. :)
You have a very handsome boy and he knows it. :)
ANGELO : Salut Angelo! J'en suis sûre il progressera en dessin :) ! Thanks Angelo, I can call this a priceless family portrait !
TOE : I am happy to share the joy I feel with you TOE :)! Since he went to school I've been keeping the things he did that way I can see his progression in every aspect! I know that he will be very proud of himself too and will persevere more without rushing on things! About speaking French, well I can manage but I don't speak perfect French. I still have many many things to learn !
NICEHEART : Hehehe so you should learn too, if you want I can teach you basic lesson ;) ! Très bien means very well ! I agree, those are really of great value! SO you keep them too, hehehe I think we really need to buy a lot lot of drawers and cabinets for that! It's our greatest affluence in life !
Thanks he is, nag mana sa ama :) !
Our kids art works are priceless, so go on, keep blogging about them. Which reminds me, I have quite a few to blog about as well.
You Basti is smart and a budding artist.
di ka nag iisa ate, im also very bad when it comes to art. i cant even draw a stick people na maayos. sometimes i think kung ano ba tlaga ang talent ko. cant sing, cant dance, cant act, cant draw... if theres such thing as "talentless" ako ata yun hehehe.
LEAH : Thanks Leah ! Yes practice makes perfect nga naman! I can see his progress everyday without forcing him to do things! I just let his creativity & imagination works.
YEN : I have always been proud of my children and yes lucky me!
Naku dapat bonding pala tayo hehhe pero marunong naman ako sumayaw! Kidding aside, I guess every person has a talent siguro hindi lang tayo aware! Every person is here with a purpose ika nga ! Have a nice day Yen !
SEXY MOM : Indeed! Having souvenirs of their youth is just amazing! I guess almost every parents are lucky too, to have such wondeful talented, loving and funny children :)! You have beautiful & intelligent children too Tita ;) !
You should indeed keep his drawings. You will see interesting changes in his drawings when he get older.
Notice nobody got arms & hands.
