parent/teacher conference

We had our very first parent teacher conference for Abby yesterday. Abby is right on track for everything. The only thing she talked about that still concerned her was that they are still having a hard time understanding her when she speaks in longer sentences, but said to just wait until they test her again when she starts kindergarten before we worry too much about it. Abby just likes to use a lot of "filler words" and I think is having a hard time getting her mouth to catch up to her brain. She said that Abby is good with playing with the girls or the boys or even by herself. She says however she has a "you can play with me as long as you don't touch my stuff or come in my space" attitude. She loves to dress up and has a thing for the train conductor hat...so now daddy of course is on the lookout for a train conductor hat. The teacher said that she also loves to wear a silver dress and HAS to wear the silver high-healed shoes to match and is NOT in a good mood if she is left with the orange shoes...what can I say the girl is particular and just likes to look good (I think we might be in trouble for the teenage years:)) Naps are another issue for Abby (although we aren't surprised since Abby stopped taking naps since she was 2). She said that Abby never sleeps and just likes to talk to the other kids and has moved Abby's nap spot so many times she just doesn't know where to put her anymore. Overall nothing that surprised us to much. Abby just loves school and her teachers. She writes notes to them at home to take to school. Just yesterday while waiting for the bus she was writing something and gave it to the bus driver. Oh ABBY!!



The picture is of abby as I still think of her...LITTLE!! She was sneaking things into the toilet and would hurry and shut the lid and then look at us like "Im not doing anything" when we would catch her doing it. Oh and by the way the pajamas she is wearing are the same we had jonas in the other day...oh and he is only 4 months old!!
