Parent-Teacher conference

Daddy Jarbs and I met with Elle's teacher, Ms. T to talk about how Elle has been doing in school. We have received a report prior to the meeting and Elle has met (and exceeded) most of the criteria/ developments expected of her age. To summarize, Ms. T told us she is above average in her age level. Even though she had a rough transition when she started in this school, she is now fully adjusted and loves going to school and seeing her friends. Ms. T even told us that Elle lends a helping hand or offers Elmo and other toys to the other new kids who are having a hard time transitioning to their class. She also said Elle loves to read and be read, loves art and loves helping out. Her vocabulary is growing and said most kids are expected to know about 100 words at this age but Elle has way exceeded that. They actually call her the 3rd teacher in class since she would echo what the teachers are saying and would tell her classmates to put their jacket on or to go outside in the playground or tell which song she wanted to sing (yeah, she's bossy like that lol). Before the meeting ended, Ms. T told us that we have done a great job raising Elle (
yeah, the whole 2 yrs of her life!! Lol) considering we are first time parents and that we have set a good example for the 2nd baby. As a parent, that's probably one of the best compliments I've ever had :).
