Magic Marker Monday: Just Call Him Mike

Today is the first Magic Marker Monday at 5 Minutes for Special Needs, so I thought I would share the drawings that just came home in Michael’s backpack today. They are actually from playgroup on Thursday, but I just saw them this afternoon.

On the red side, the drawing is actually of the musical notes for the first part of the song. And although I have mixed emotions on him signing his name “Mike” instead of “Michael” – I am happy that he will now do it without complaining and proud that he figured out a way to make it easier for himself all on his own.

Head on over and post your own Magic Marker Monday!

Those are nice. Was the theme Christmas in July with that red and green colored paper?

Very cute pictures.

Michael was insisting that SW call him Mike when they were on the roller coaster together. SW was quite disturbed by this as well! He said, “Your name is not Mike. It’s Michael!”

(um, I didn’t know your feelings on the matter,) so I defended Michael by explaining to SW that Mike is a common nickname for Michael… SW explored a lot about nicknames awhile back.

Oh, these are fabulous, Trish! I’m just amazed with the musical notes — what a challenging and detailed thing to choose to draw! And his happy face is cute beyond words These just put a huge smile in the end of my day
