Parent Teacher Conference

I met with Kynlee's first grade teacher last week. I'm so glad she's doing well. Kynlee's teacher let her assess herself before the meeting. I think she feels good about her school performance:



Walking into the meeting I couldn't help think about how Kynlee traditionally has been the kid to make us pull our hair out. Her energy level, do-it-my-way attitude, night time rebellions, and creative ideas, have done us in many days in the past years. Her kitchen cooking experiments that have included mixing whole flour and sugar containers, creating bread paste from all the loaves in the pantry, and food coloring attempts were enough, add in kicking out window screens, creating "snow" from drilling into sheetrock, frosting the Christmas tree with flour, cutting open a feather pillow, and checking out what a roll of toilet paper added to the bath along with the entire shampoo bottle contents would do. You get the idea.

It turns out Kynlee is a very well behaved student. Her teacher said she can always count on Kynlee to be doing the right thing at the right time. Good girl.

My only concern is what she said here:



"sad" "scared" With "aaaaaa" ???

Her teacher asked her about why she was sad and she said she missed her mom- I must rock. I asked her why she was scared, and she calmly said "Oh, just like...tornadoes."

Well, OK, I guess a natural disaster fear is fine.

Way to go, Kynlee! Hooray for a great student. And, yes, tornadoes are a legitimate fear. :)
