Towards the end of the school year our local public elementary school hosts an amazing art show.
It is combined with an open house event where you can enter your child's classroom and visit with the teacher.
This year the event did not disappoint.
The children sometimes adopt the theme of a famous artist's work for their own original painting.
This year was not only a feast for the eyes, but included a small dosage of preschooler extortion as well.
I finished knitting the Little Oak sweater, and of course my 4 yr old still refuses to willingly put it on.
He is very interested in increasing has saving account though, so for 2 dimes and 1 nickel, the sweater was donned and some photos were finally taken.
Giving in to your pre-schooler's extortion tactics: questionable parenting technique
Getting photos of him wearing your knitwear: priceless
The sweater is beautiful! He'll never remember that he didn't want to wear it. Bribe him? Why not!
