Tiny Chairs, part II

It's parent-teacher conference time again! 

We took our tiny seats at a tiny table with Johnny Bear for the Marco updates.  He's happy that he comes to the table, recognizes letters, needs work on number recognition, great at drawing shapes (a flawless triangle) and actually draws.  I couldn't believe that, but he had proof!

It's charming that this seems to be the three of us.  BUT, if it were the three of us, we would all have giant heads, so I'm pretty positive that's Marco in the middle flanked by Benny and Joaquin.

Johnny Bear categorized Marco as a "leader."  Our questions:  Can you still be a leader without any followers?  Are you sure he's not just a bossy only child?  Do they have power play with him? and Does he listen at school?  His responses were not to mistake defiance for independence (hmph) and this time is the real beginnings of his personality over his behavior.  Johnny Bear said that Marco is a leader and will continue to be. 

These teachers know just how to spin it.

In the meantime, stop by for a round of Go Fish or Chutes and Ladders anytime!
