Parent Teacher Conference

This morning I attended my first parent teacher conference. Elliot has been going to a little pre-school in our neighborhood twice a week since September. Because Mariana usually takes him, I don't have much interaction with the teachers. It was nice to have a chance to site down and discuss Elliot's progress. Especially since his teacher, Mrs. M., had so many nice things to say about him. I plan to save all of Elliot's report cards, and I'll probably post them here - since this is basically our family scrapbook. That is until he gets a bad grade or begs me not to.


I am so proud of my boy! I was also happy to hear that he loves and excels at art. Mariana was shocked that his teacher wrote that he is an "awsome help at clean up". We may have to get some tips from Mrs. M. It has been so fun to watch Elliot grow and change over the last year. He has weathered all of the change in his life (new house, new baby, new school, new au pair) wonderfully and really is a "smart, caring, and confident" guy.

The Cutest Valentines

Elliot made his own Valentines this year (with a little help from Mommy and Mariana). Of course I forgot to take a picture of them before sending them out. He used potato stamps to decorate pieces of paper that he stitched together with yarn to make little pockets to hold these pictures:



Tomorrow he'll exhange Valentines with all of his friends at pre-school, which I am sure will involve lots of sugar.
