Here's Parker making the letter "i" out of pencils. She's big into letters these days, especially making the letter shapes with objects or her limbs. She makes an X with her arms and stands like a stork and makes the letter P. She's also had a big letter writing breakthrough and can write H, E, F, P, V, W, M, and the number 9. And she can draw a sun. She went to a dress-up party on sunday and had her nails painted. She chose blue. Hopefully they discounted her manicure since she skips the nail polish on the fingers that she sucks on.
I had a parent/teacher conference last week....they do them with all the parents this time of year at this age. Her teacher reported that she's right where she should be academically and that she's really enjoying school. She's doing well socially, but we are supposed to work with her on making her own decisions, and how to express that (instead of just freezing or crying). That was a little surprising, since she has no trouble telling us just what she will and won't do.
Another fun thing this week has been carpooling to school with our neighbor a few times. Here they are on the way in one rainy morning.
