Parent/Teacher Conferences

Yup, you heard right. We attend parent/teacher conferences for our 19 month old.

While the best part of it is hearing about all the wonderful things my son says and does- everything from picking up his toys to yes, peeing on the potty, it is also a great opportunity to just touch base and make sure that nothing is being missed between home and school. He is in such great hands at his school- his teachers are excellent. I also love how they really take our comments and recommendations into consideration. In a recent parent satisfaction survey there were a lot of complaints about nutrition and food options. Needless to say, they very quickly fixed the problem and have really done a great job fixing the menu as well as using FRESH foods (rather than the typical, pre-packaged school food fare). It was a great meeting today. We are so incredibly proud of our Jack. He is beyond smart and we can't wait to see all the wonderful things he has to offer as he grows up.

To keep you updated on his health, yes, we are still struggling with ear infections. At a checkup with his pediatrician today, we have been referred back to our ENT to discuss a possible adenoidectomy. Not to say this will happen for sure, but it is a possibility. We need to figure out why this poor kid can't seem to shake these darn infections! Meanwhile he remains a super trooper. Jack is still as energetic a toddler as you can imagine. We've also definitely hit the "watch what you say" phase at our house- he repeats every word we say!
