Parent Conferences

Yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting with Edwin's preschool teachers for his FIRST parent conference. I must say I really love his teachers...and so does Edwin. They said Edwin is so much fun. They commented numerous times about his funny personality. They said he loves to tell stories and make the other kids laugh. He is friends with everyone. He is social. He is smart. He is a very creative with his artwork. He loves music class. He enjoys dancing. He has a great memory. He listens to directions. Basically, everything we already knew - HE IS PERFECT...LOL...that is me talking...

The only thing they said he didn't do well is basic sorting...but they were quick to reassure me that it wasn't because he can't...it was because he didn't want to. This early math skill isn't the most important for him to demonstrate mastery so they aren't concerned...in fact, they thought it was funny that he will do complex pattern exercises and can write AND identify numbers 1-10 and he won't sort objects...hahaha...too basic I guess...

It was a little strange being at a parent conference for Edwin. I have been looking at the baby pictures of he and Lyla so much lately wondering what #3 will look like...and I can still remember those moments like they are yesterday. He asks me what he was like when he was a baby...I think he's trying to prepare himself for a baby in the house. And, then I go to a parent conference and remind myself that my little man is sure growing up to be an AMAZING BIG BOY...I hope he continues to impress me, his peers, and most importantly himself with his abilities...I have no doubt God has a special plan for this one!!!!
