Our Math Whiz

Chris and I had our first parent/teacher conference with Miss Heather this morning at Max's preschool.  It was scheduled for just 20 minutes and I wondered how in the world we would squeeze all our questions into one session, but at the 15 minute mark, we were already done.

Here's what it boils down to... Max is a math whiz and pretty much an overall genius.  Well... you know... kind of...

Miss Heather did sing his praises saying he is so well-behaved and very respectful to everyone in class.  She also said that there are a few kids that get in "trouble" daily and Max is smart enough to know not to associate with them; he knows who is good for him and who is not.  

She also bragged (er... I am bragging) that he is the most advanced in the class at putting patterns together, which she taught us is an early math skill, and she is very impressed.  He MUST get his math skills from his dad cause I got a C in Calculus in college... shhh!

We let her know that we (ok, I am) are becoming more and more bothered by the fact that Max prefers to play with girls and girly things.  She said he does choose girls in class too, mostly so he can love on them, but she will make more of an effort to have him associate with boys when she can.  She also made us aware of the fact that he is very good at sharing EXCEPT when it comes to the dress up clothes... if someone takes the veil off his head, she said "watch out".  Grrreeeeeaaaaaaaaat...

Anyway, it was very fun getting to sit down with Miss Heather today to hear about what a bright, fun, charming boy we have... what parent wouldn't love that report?
