Sadie's Parent Teacher Conference

It's so strange....to have a parent teacher conference for a two year old preschooler!  It was really neat though, to hear about Sadie's behaviors from an outside perspective.  She had nothing short of rave reviews from her teacher, Miss Mika, who used word such as: confident, comfortable, thorough, playful, happy, energetic, and social.  She showed us a few of Sadie's drawings and paintings and pointed out some details from that demonstrate these characteristics.  For example: the drawings were large, and covered most of the area of paper --> confidence, the crayon impressions were dark --> also confidence, she used 2 sides of the paper --> thorough, detailed.  Miss Mika also told us what we already know about Sadie, which is that "you will know when she wants to do something and when she doesn't want to do something."  Interestingly, however, at school she doesn't throw tantrums or cry like she does at home, instead, she tells Miss Mika she "doesn't want" or "no."  Finally, Miss Mika did come up with 2 areas for Sadie to improve on: 1) Running in the classroom 2) Potty training.
