Parent Teacher Conferences
Earlier this week we had conferences with Adam's teacher, Miss Kelsey. I don't think we learned anything new or surprising, but it was nice to see and hear what the teacher thought of Adam, his learning abilities and social behaviors. All in all, she didn't say anything we disagreed with.
Adam was also given a little test - and he did very well.
She layed out a pile of crayons and asked Adam to pick out certain colors. He thought a pink was red at first, but other then that he got all of them right (I think there were 9).
He was shown letters of the alphaebt out of order, both uppercase and lower case and asked to identify them. He thought that the lowercase q was a p, but that's understandable!
He was asked to count as high as he could, he made it to 26. He also identified all numbers 1-10.
He was asked to identify a bunch of shapes, he got them all right!
He is also very good at patterns, matching and understanding "which has more."
We have a smart little man on our hands, he must take after daddy!

RIP Timbit
Adam's friend and first fish Timbit has left us for the big fish bowl in the sky. It was a very sad moment in our home as we explained to Adam that Timbit wasn't going to be able to swim anymore.
We decided to take Adam out this weekend and buy him a new fish...he wants a blue one.
The First Snow
The Journaling Reads:
This morning you burst into our room and shared your excitement over the dusting of snow on the ground. Not because you liked the snow, but because you finally got to wear your new winter jacket. I’m not sure if it was the jacket or the scarf and mittens that put you over the top. But you were such a happy boy in your new yellow jacket, and construction hat, scarf and mitten set. So happy that you didn’t even need a morning treat.

Monkey-Boy
The last time Adam was over at Grandma Carol's house, he found something to entertain himself...the corner between her china hutch and the wall. We might have a gymnast in training on our hands...

Ladies Night!
Last night I attended a "Ladies Night Out" with my Mother In Law at the local Home Valu store. We weren't sure what to expect, but they invite said free food and free gift for all who attend and my MIL wanted to look at bathrooms...so we went. I am so glad that we did, we had a blast!
They had all sorts of vendors tucked in with samples and fun stuff. We both fell in love with some purse lady purses (and my MIL ended up winning one!) We ate some yummy food, drank some yummy wine...we got mini manicures, parafin dips and I convinced my MIL to get her first henna tattoo.
Additionally, our goodie bags contained a really fantastic gift. A $100 gift certificate good that night only - for anything. At first I was going to buy something practical for our house, but then I decided that I should use this as a chance to splurge on something that I would never just go and drop $100 on if it was my real money. So I came home with this:
Gorgeous granite framed mirrior - it seriously weighs 20 pounds - and I love it! This little accessory cost $95 - but for me, it was my free gift. Woah baby! I love the flowers!
Thanks for inviting me Mom, I had a blast!
