It was pretty funny doing art with this kid. His little sister was there sometimes, whining and crying that she wanted art lessons too, and he would pick on her a lot.
Once we were creating a board game out of poster board, when Sarah said, "I want to play your game!" Steve had a quick reply to that..."It's for ages eight and up!" Which got her running and crying to her mom, who didn't think Steve's clever comment was very funny.
I still have this card he made me before we moved.
This is the card Sarah made me. She was totally obsessed with her gerbil, "baby dashy."
I showed these to Steve and Sarah tonight and they had kind of teenage reactions to these memories. I might see their mother tomorrow. I'm sure she would get a bigger kick out of seeing these than the kids did.

What a cute picture, I knew it was a gerbil right away :)
How sweet that you saved those cards all this time. The mom will DEFINATELY appreciate it, but teens never want to remember that they were little kids once. Ew!
I think the gerbil suffered from a medical malady. I would diagnose paralysis, perhaps due to a spinal cord injury (maybe it was dropped?). Of course if it was stiff as a board, it could be rigor mortis setting in... I see why you didn't claim her as a student.
I think Baby Dashy is standing, not lying down. I don't remember Baby Dashy's legs being that long. Those are some long legs on a gerbil!
I'm loving baby Dashy, that is too cute.
Awwwww, they great. I love recieving gifts from kids :)
