| Ella's blue robots, Oscar's white horses, and Owen's creature. |
As soon as we enter
Children's Museum of the Arts, we put our names on the Clay Bar sign-up sheet. It's my kids favorite thing to do in the whole world. Last week as class started, Owen climbed on the stool and proclaimed, "I'm an artist," and confidently made something mysterious and wonderful. Oscar and Ella, on the other hand, diligently followed all of the teacher's instructions. Their sculptures were really cute. I was impressed that they could do everything the artist suggested. When the thirty minutes were up, each kid got to bring home two sculptures, one of theirs and the other is the instructor's example. Owen only wanted his own creation.
I have to admit, I'm jealous of Owen. I relate so much to Ella and Oscar when it comes to instructions, rules and boundaries. I can't wait to see where all this independence takes him. See other examples of Owen doing his own thang
at church,
at home,
on the streets, and
crossing the Brooklyn Bridge. I'm looking forward to adding to this series.
