Parent Teacher Conferences

We had parent teacher conferences for Mason's preschool class last week. I think I was more nervous for this conference than I was when my parents used to go to mine. This is what we found out:

1. According to his teacher, Mason is the class "stud". When they are placed boy-girl-boy-girl, Mason sits with his arms around the two girls on either side of him.


2. Mason is one of only two boys in the class that can skip. Apparantly being able to skip at this age is huge because it means something about synapses and right brain/left brain . Whatever...he's a genius.


3. His teacher told us that if she's ever sick, Mason could successfully run the class on his own.


4. Mason has the attention span of a flea. This we knew.


5. Mason's left eye sometimes drifts toward his nose when he concentrates. This we didn't know.


6. He's a master rhymer. Unfortunately - if he can't think of a real word, he makes up his own word. For instance, did you know that kouse rhymes with house?


7. He knows his absurdly long home address, but couldn't say his phone number. We asked her which one she asked for because he calls his parents' cell phones SEVERAL times every day! I guess he just never calls himself.


8. He's the cutest kid in the class...oh wait - maybe she didn't say that.
