tutu in the corner.

Had a "parent/teacher conference" at Reese's school the other day. She's three. She goes to school three days per week for three hours each day. And she is there to have fun and socialize. She loves it. And unlike how I always feel about Noah's schooling, I know I picked the best place for her. The staff is AMAZING and it has been a positive experience for her and for us.

We went in for the meeting with the teacher and she went over everything she's doing. There are certain criteria children should be meeting at this age and they look for these things. Reese is doing really well. She said she is very clean-- always picking up, following the rules and never needs to be reminded to wash. Aww... that's my child! She hasn't met only a couple of the criteria. One was expressing feelings-- she tends to just walk away and sit in a corner if she is upset. The teacher said that Reese picks a tutu out of the dress-up clothes everyday. She wears it almost every morning she has school. So when she is upset, she goes in the corner, in her tutu and puts her head down. Teacher said it's cute, but obviously she needs to learn to express how she's feeling. The teacher said "I feel so bad, but I do chuckle inside because she looks so cute in that tutu pouting in the corner!" :)

One thing is for sure--this school experience has been so, so different. It's just so very easy.
