My how he's grown!

When Perry came home from school yesterday, he, of course, brought with him the obligatory envelope with end-of-the-year paperwork and such. There among his awards and report card was something so amazing, I just had to share it...





This is a self portrait he drew the 1st week of school.



Here is what he drew this week...


Although we watch him develop everyday, seeing his growth in such a concrete form is really unbelievable. It's more than just "budding artistic" talent, too (that was one of his awards, by the way -- Budding Artist). This is just a visual expression of how much he has truly matured this year. Wow...


Just in case you're interested, he also brought home "The Bible Award" because, trust me, he is quite the little Bible scholar, and an "Outstanding Sportsmanship" award from PE. I wouldn't have wanted anyone to lose any sleep wondering what those other awards were!

We're very proud! : )
