Today we met with Ms. Jan, N8’s preschool teacher to go over his year thus far.  David and I are so pleased with his report!! I also literally teared up when Ms. Jan showed us the two different self-portraits he’s done; one had been done back in September and the other in January.  At that moment I realized just how much growing and maturing he has done over the past 5 months! I was thankful she didn’t call attention to my eyes welling up. Some of the phrases used by his teacher to describe him were:

“[academically] so far ahead of the game”,

“enthusiastic about everything”,

“so much FUN to have in class”,

“he loves to learn – you can just see it in his eyes”,

“[has] mastered skills that he shouldn’t even be demonstrating until the latter part of the 4 year-old class”

“he’s SO bright!”

His reading, patterning, sequencing, and other related skills are all up to or beyond par at this point. Okay seriously, I’ll stop bragging.  But Mom, this post is really for you!

While Ms. Jan gave kudos to David and I for working with him so much, I guess this is my formal shout-out and kudos to the LeapFrog series, Little Einsteins, and all of the other educational programming we permit him to watch.

P.S. Kudos to you, Mom, for raising such an intelligent and bright daughter who is now passing on the smarts to your grandkids. [insert ego trip.]
