On A Roll

Look at all this posting! Trying to make up for months of being a bad blogger. Had Nash's first parent-teacher conference today. Nash is the youngest one in his class. The school starts at 3 years old, as long as the child is potty trained. Nash took to potty training pretty easily and was trained in September '09, when he was 2.5, and never looked back. So, anyway, being the youngest at his school I would expect to hear from the teacher that he has some catching up to do in a lot of areas. But she didn't really say that. She said Nash loves to spell and is curious, and interested in learning. She said there are a handful of kids in the butterfly room (4 year olds) who aren't writing their own name yet. Actually, every kid in the school has a symbol associated with their name because it's easier to recognize and practice. Nash's is a box with an x in the middle reaching to the corners. But Nash's teacher says he's doing great with his name and since he's been able to read it since he started there they haven't needed to use the symbol. Of course when I got home I asked Nash to trace his name, and here's what he did:
Not too shabby!!
Also, March 7 is the first day I saw Nash drawing faces. Here are the pics:



He was drawing some heads himself, but since I know he can do circles and he wanted to practice the faces, some of those beautiful heads were drawn by yours truly. Pretty good, huh? Anyway, I'm proud of him.
