just another morning here

She can afford to smile Abbie’s turn for a parent-teacher interview today, and Steve & I were both proud of her glowing report as well. Apparently she’s working easily in the top groups for most things, but does find writing hard. Which I knew – it’s slow and not terribly neat, but her writing has improved loads this year already … gotta have something to work on, anyway

Had a good look through her tray and giggled at lots of her work … pleased to hear that she’s reading lots at school (which I hadn’t really picked up, she keeps her school reading books and her home reading books separate so that she doesn’t lose them!), it seems that the librarian challenges them with different books to read, so that’s really good. She’s reading Pippi Longstocking at the moment

We did have to wonder, though, if the teacher really was talking about the right child, as she said that Abbie had never lost any suns (she has, she’s lost one twice!), and had already had a thank you certificate for all round good behaviour (er, no she hasn’t! but oops, now you’ve said that you’ll have to give her one!). It had obviously been a long afternoon of parent interviews and ours was the last, so we’ll forgive her

Bought her a birthday present this evening as well, one I will hate, but I know she will love … that’s what comes of having a good parents’ evening and a hint from the EYHE list on the same night!
