Ms. Toni is a professional artist, a teacher, a parent, a grandma - and the best part of our week. We met her when she was teaching art at Punk's pre-school art class. Punk adored her, and was so sad, when she didn't come back the second year. But just last year, we hunted her down and she agreed to come to our house to work with Punk once a week for an hour. This year Kooka is in on the action too -after Punk's class, Kooka gets a half an hour with Ms. Toni too. Yesterday she took them both to an art gallery. She is really, truly the best kind of teacher - she laughs, and questions, and makes you think about art, and lets you figure the answers out all for yourself. And when she tells you your work is fabulous - you really truly believe it.

You stalked an old woman and bullied her into teaching your kids art?!
Brilliant. Simply Brilliant!
Yes I did - that is the kind of dedicated mother I am. We also have a piano teacher tied up in our basement.
