Parent Teacher Conferences and Fun with Cousins

Tyler had his first ever Parent/Teacher conferences today. Since I am used to doing this on the teacher side of things I was a little anxious of how it would go. Tyler is doing great in school however. I have some things we need to work on, such as cutting, but for the most part he is progressing in all the skills, just as he should be in the beginning of the year. Tyler is the youngest in his class, by 9 months to some of his classmates. It was a big decision for us if we should put him in the four year old class where his is and the youngest, or put him in a three year old class where he would have been the oldest. My biggest concern was that we put him in the wrong class. His teacher told me that the only area she can tell he is the youngest is sometimes socially. He doesn't engage the other kids and more parallel plays than interacts. However she is sure as he matures this will come to. She said she absolutely thinks he is in the right class, as the younger class probably would have not been challenging enough. Good to hear for sure.

Today after naps we headed up to Uncle Todd and Aunt Jessie's house. Now that they live so close to us its fun to get to see them so often. The kids played for a while and then decorated cookies that Aunt Jessie made. The boys then played some before before daddy got there and we ate some dinner. They didn't have the best table manners and wanted to eat the cookies more than anything else, but we still had fun. The best part for the boys was getting to wrestle with Josiah. Having another boy to play with is always a good time. It was a great day.
