Nix the Wordless Wed

Just got home from parent and teacher conf so had to report back.
As I have blogged I like CJ's teacher although she seems too strict with a hint of an anti-american vibe. Well here are some highlights from the conf-

1) CJ is overenthusiastic. (so let me get this straight he likes school too much:)

2) We were surprised to find he was right with the class in reading words, vocabulary, etc (last time I checked NASA, Microsoft, and Mayo Clinic were located in the US; americans can be pretty smart)

3 Table manners- CJ chooses to use his spoon rather than his fork at lunch- when we let him know he should use his fork he sometimes (gasp) uses a spoon and says "Forks are for dinner -not lunch" (I'll take the blame for us - 9/10 times we eat sandwiches , cheese/crackers, yogurt,or chicken nuggets for lunch)

4-He likes to hug both children and adults (a written observation by the teacher). I know she found this strange but hey got to love the christian preschools he has been through that CJ is hanging tough with the hugs (Don't hugs make the world go round?)

5-She then showed me his writing journal- Q Where is your favorite place?
CJ's answer "wth mom in teksis, nana house, or inglend" (With my mom in texas, nana's house (MI), or England) Came home and gave my little guy a great big HUG!
