Owen's First Conference

We had Owen's first conference tonight and we couldn't be more proud of this kiddo!  His teachers had wonderful things to say about him academically and socially.  They are very happy with where he is at with reading and writing.  Apparently, he is one of about 4-5 kids that are reading, so they are going to assess the class next week and start giving that group of kids a little more of a challenge when doing their daily writing.

She said he is very comfortable in his own skin and is able to play by himself but is also good joining in with a group of peers.  She said he is also respectful to adults and is a good listener.

She showed us some drawings he had done and some exercises in following directions.  Again, she had all good things to say about his abilities. 

We love Owen to bits and are always proud of him, but man, tonight, we are just on cloud 9 to hear that his teachers are as proud of him as we are.  

Just another quick proud moment tonight happened when Paul was vacuuming under Hattie's high chair.  She got scared of the noise and Owen ran over to her, sat on the floor and let her lean into his chest.  He hugged her gently and said, "It's okay Hattie, don't be scared.  Brother is here for you."  I just love how gentle and caring he is.
