This morning we had our spring semester parent-teacher conference at Tai's "school". The spring conferences are optional, but what parent wouldn't sign up to sit and hear someone tell them how wonderful their child is for 30 minutes? It was all about seeing lots of pictures of Tai having fun at school and hearing what a great kid he is and how he fits into the group dynamic. What we heard is this:
- He fits into the group very well. She could not find any pictures of Tai playing by himself. This comes as no surprise, as at home we constantly hear, "mama (or daddy), can you play with me?" The only things he manages to do solo are sleep and watch TV.
- He throws (and attends) numerous tea parties each week. (He's really into the finer things in life).
- He is the "class clown" and attempts to dominate all mealtime conversations. (Shocking, I know).
- He has no interest in dressing or undressing himself, but is happy to let a "staff" of other children do it for him. (Those were, perhaps, the best photos.)
- He has excellent rhythm and likes to play the drums. (Obviously, he gets that from me).
- He's not the most agile kid in the class (unless tripping over your own feet is a special form of agility.)
