Untapped Talent

 DSC09089

This is the bulletin board in Jacob’s classroom. His turkey is on the bottom row in the middle (the non-abstract looking turkey). I don’t know if it’s sheer artistic talent that he has inherited from Mimi, or utter Type A obsessiveness that he has inherited from his parents that has led him to create (without any help) a turkey that looks like a turkey. Whatever it is is, I’m proud. And his teacher said that Jacob even delicately slid the turkey legs underneath the body after carefully placing a ribbon of glue on the legs. Amazing. Especially because “delicate” and “careful” would never be words I would use to describe my Jacob!

He is a special little boy! Thanks for sharing his talents. That turkey will make you smile years from now, if you can preserve it. :)

Grandma Joan and I are very impressed and certain that the talent did not come from our side. Being anal-retentive however, did!
