Like Bob Ross, Zane is mostly patient with everything he does. (Note: Did you know that Bob Ross was not fond of his bushy fro? So they say. But he knew business and that his trademark fro was important for his line of art supplies.)
Zane also doesn't like to get marker and paint on his body, so I don't have to ask him to shed all layers of clothing like I did with Vanessa. Vanessa was always more interested in painting her body and using paper as way to get paint supplied to her. When it came to finished art, we often had to wash it away since it didn't make it to the paper. She also still paints frequently but because she's carefree about it, she sometimes strips but almost always puts on a smock. :-)
Zane wanted to tie string together to continue his string of beads, but he got frustrated by the gap it placed between two beads. One string is satisfactory and it's
almost as tall as him. :-)
He gets lost in stacking blocks and had one tower up to his shoulder before it crashed. But he's patient with that too and starts all over again to get it to the same height just one more time.
And I've heard that Grandpa has been helping the grandkids practice their flips. Zane is excited to show us!
His castles are fit for a fairy, with a dinosaur dragon and all.
He constructs a cadence and plays it over and over on many instruments.
He brings new meaning to naked chef.
Zane catches fish his way and Vanessa catches her way, but sometimes their lines cross.
Vanessa prefers to build thrones for her Furby. If she makes it just right, Furby goes to sleep and stays asleep.
She's thoughtful in making notes and pictures to tell of her love. She can call for me to stop what I'm doing any time to share.
She uses ten frames to count and organize 100 sequins for a project she wanted to make for her 100th
sparkly school day.
She adds useful gadgets to constructions for reasons she deems important, like this wheeled valve to release air into her building.
Only Vanessa and Zane can employ their personal techniques, without another achieving mastery, making each so lovingly unique.
