Our First Conferences...

We made it through our first conferences with the boys' teachers last night!

Ben's teacher is Miss Amy and she is very taken with our little buddy! (I once tried to explain to Ben that Mommy's first name is Amy, just like his teacher's. He looked at me for a while, smiled, and then said "noooooo... you mommy!" I couldn't argue with that logic!) Anyway, we got lots of good news at Ben's conference. He is very caring and polite towards his friends and always wants to know if everyone is okay if they get hurt. He is consistently getting closer to accomplishing his goals. He will even sit for a while for circle time by himself! Not a long while, but a little while. I was ecstatic because I was picturing him not participating in circle time at all so that was nice to hear!

Conner's teacher is Miss Cyndi and she also had lots of good things to tell us. Conner really looks up to the older kids in his class and tries to do a lot of the things that they are doing. He is becoming a lot more independent. He also is accomplishing all of the goals that we set up at the beginning of the year so we are really happy with his progress! To our amazement, Conner sits with the other kids at circle time almost all the time! (Our kids have a hard time sitting still!) It was so much fun to hear so many good things!

Nick and I are so proud of our babies. Good job guys!!!! We went to Culvers to celebrate with some ice cream. Conner got an added bonus when he grabbed Nick's Mountain Dew and took several drinks before we noticed....!
