One of Ben's favorite school activities is paint (I tend to avoid painting at home because of the mess). During play time, they give Ben a choice of activities to pick from via picture cards. He ALWAYS picks paint. Ben's nurse sent me a picture from her cell phone this morning of Ben painting in school today. It looks like he is painting with a Q-tip and doing quite well (what a great idea they had to incorporate working on his pincher grasp with the painting). When Ben is painting, he first works on the paper and when he feels he doesn't have enough room left, he moves to the next open canvas - his face!
I sent in this Crayola smock for him to wear during messy activities. It is great because it keeps his clothes clean. Most smocks leave the arms exposed, which Ben gets the most dirty. I highly recommend it! Even Ben's aid has to wear a smock to protect her clothes. He's been known to turn the brush on her pretty outfits.

Looks like Ben is doing great. It is so awesome seeing him paint and making choices by pointing at pictures. I always stay up to date as to what Ben is doing through the blog and Annie. God is doing some amazing things with this little guy. I miss you all terribly and wish you all a very Merry Christmas. I will pray for Ben through surgery and recovery.
Love,

This is the cutest picture! Love it.
I so look forward to when Vivian is older and can paint...I hope she enjoys it as much as Ben!
Great job Ben, mommy is going to have so many wonderful peices of art work to hang all over the house.
