Conferences

Yesterday morning we had Olivia's first school conferences. I mean, preschool conferences, of course, but I still felt a little old. It was a funny feeling for me to attend conferences and hear feedback about my child. Is that weird for you too? I always feel like I want to defend (and there wasn't even anything remotely negative)... like that she doesn't participate singing songs in group. I, of course, in my anxiety start rambling about how well she does in group settings other places and sings along. I have to remember that she's not saying she isn't able to do it, but that she just hasn't shown it in preschool. Really her teacher doesn't care if she does it somewhere else... :) And now I'm rambling again.

It was so fun to see more of her schoolwork and the portfolio that is being put together for her. Her teacher also put together an individual slide show with pictures of each child! That was SO neat to see. I feel disconnected a lot of times with her at school, so I loved being able to see how much fun she is having when she is there.
