Ramblings from a Proud Mommy!

I'm still weeding through many pictures and trying to catch up on uploading...but in the meantime, I have a little bragging to do. We had Hunter's 1st Parent Teacher Conference on Thursday. Tuesday we got sent home a packet with all of his testing results...now, don't get me wrong, Hunter is really a super bright kid...but he tends to act clueless the majority of the time. So when I went to open it...I did NOT expect to see what I saw! Literally, he had checks on EVERY area of testing (which meant he did awesome) and he knew all of his letters, all of his numbers, all of his shapes (to include a "hectatangle) and her comments read...."Hunter is a very bright little boy. He loves to interact with the teachers and his friends." According to the checklist he could even "identify between living and non living objects!" Seriously? Preschool testing? Living or non living?!!!

Awww...it melted my heart. He is so incredibly smart and such a happy little boy. He loves his friends dearly. When we sat down for the conference his teacher's eyes lit up...she didn't even know what to say. I think she said something like "Hunter is a joy to have in class" but her face said it all. She was sooo impressed with him...and even more impressed with the way his "separated" parents parent our kids. We were commended. Always a good feeling. She said he loves to participate in class discussions...and gets so excited he likes to interrupt. Wonder who that sounds like?!

Way to go Hunter Bean! We are sooo incredibly proud of you! I treated him to Applebees and root beer that night....what a wonderful little boy. I look forward to the years ahead with this kid...he's that kid that is going to sit in class daydreaming and the teachers are going to worry he's not listening...but he will ace everything he does with no effort.

Too cute. I just love him to pieces.

Stay tuned for more pictures...eventually!!!

He SO will be that kid who seems to have his head in the clouds, but he's actually thinking about something really mind blowing and deep! Reminds of someone related to me.... must be a middle sib thing. =)
