After the collage for my son’s teacher, I managed to complete one for the classroom assistant. I must admit I liked the first one better, but school is about to finish and I was running out of time. Nothing like a looming deadline to make you accept your work for what it is!

Niccolo is spending a long weekend with his grandparents.
