LGR learns to use MS Paint

LGR was very excited to inform us that at school today he did computer classes again. I (naturally) asked him what sort of things he did. "We draw pictures".

So I asked him how they drew pictures on the computer - thinking he would tell me they used a stylus and scribble board. It turns out they use something a lot like MS Paint and a mouse. Today they learnt how to use the spraypaint function.

I asked him if he would like to show me how he draws pictures. The ensuing yes was quite enthusiastic. What you see below is the 5th or 6th picture. Unfortunately none of the earlier pictures were saved. We'll make more of an effort next time :-)

LGR's school week routine is beginning to take hold. Monday is singing/music day, Tuesday is sport day, Wednesday is computer day, Thursday is news day and Friday is library day. I'm not sure which one he likes most - it tends to depend on what day it is.

He's also finally willing to tell us the names of the kids in his class. It's very sweet to hear him rattle off names. Apparently Ishan is the best looking boy, Ebony is the pretties girl and the funniest person in the class is ...... LGR :-)
