Our Awesome Children

We had a parent-teacher conference tonight with the girl's teacher - Meagan. She basically told us that our children are the best. Which we of course knew already. Libby is scoring at the top of the charts for her age which means she is ready for kindergarten. The only thing Meagan wants her to do independently was go through the problem solving steps without any guidance. Meagan said that Libby can almost do that but occasionally needs adult help to remember the steps. Brynn was scoring 2's or 3's on everything. She should be barely scoring a 2 since she's not even 2 yet. So her scoring a solid 2 or maybe a 3 is crazy. Meagan said that Brynn is basically her star student, especially given her age. Brynn is a well rounded little girl. She can rote count to about 10 or 11 consistently. She will sit at circle time for almost the whole time and listen (something some of the bigger kids can't even do). Brynn can also play a pretend game with a friend for 30 minutes or more without becoming distracted. Her attention span is very long for her age. Meagan told us that she plans extra stuff in her lessons to accommodate our girls and their interests. We're so very proud of them!

Isn't that what happens when two nerds breed? No surprises!
