Parent/Teacher Conference

We experienced our first parent-teacher conference on Wednesday. Granted it was for Preschool but nontheless it was interesting. Kolin's teacher, Mrs. VanWormer couldn't say enough good things about him. She said that everyone just loves him and she also hinted that he was her favorite :-) We got to see how Kolin is progressing with his shape drawing, number and letter recognition and cutting. They do a "before and after" of sorts. They went through a series of activities with the kids in October and then again in January so they could measure their progress. It was really neat to see the difference! Both Kirk and I felt really good after talking with Mrs. VanWormer. I have to admit I had no idea what to expect but came out of it very pleased. We are beginning to think about next school year already and are leaning towards moving from a 2-day school "week" we are going to increase his attendance to 3-days, M-W-F. No if we could only get him interested in holiding his pencil (or crayon, etc.) the correct way...

She's on the move!

It won't be long now and she will be crusin' without the walker! AHH!

Monday morning thoughts

Well we have had an exciting time the past few days... it even involved a call to the Pediatrican at 1a Saturday morning. Poor Kendra had been battling a fever for about 36 hours and it hit 102.8 and she was fussy and completely congested so I decided to call the Pediatrician to find out what I should be doing since she wouldn't eat or drink anything and Tylenol just wasn't helping as much as I thought it should. Of course all he said was to try and get her to drink cold liquids and to try Motrin if the Tylenol was working and if that didn't do the trick than maybe she should be seen in the office in the morning. I think he was a little irritated that I woke him up over a cold... but isn't that what they are paid the big bucks for?!?! I felt bad for about a second! Anyhow, I did not take her in Saturday morning since she seemed to be a little more like herself. Her fever had gone down considerably and she willing ate some oatmeal and drank a little bit of apple juice. She seems to be her happy self this morning, thank goodness!!

So how about that Super Bowl? I managed to stay up through 3 qtrs. of it. Wasn't really impressed with the commercials, or the game for that matter. Oh well... the food was good!!
