I dread parent/teacher conference day because I feel like I am constantly defending him ("But he's such a sweet boy. Really, he's so smart and loving!") Ugh... You remind me that Pumpkinhead still doesn't know our phone number either. I think maybe we should just strap a kiddy cell phone to his belt and call it a day. ;) Boy, do I hear you.

I was so blankety-blank precocious as a child that by age five, I decided that my parents were unacceptable. Yes, it was very hard going for them after that. What happened is that I realized my name is my older sister's name spelled backward without the C. They had no clue. I am now a recovering perfectionist as is my daughter. Breathe in/Breathe out...

Just laugh. My son was the LAST in diapers in nursery school and the last to walk. His elementary school report cards always had comments on his inability to skip or tie his shoes (we used velcro). He is now a 15 year old honors student who can walk, skip, tie his shoes and go to the bathroom on his own. Don’t worry. Just laugh.

For several years, I entertained everyone by telling them my birthday was in Autumn/Fall. She at least knows the month. She is doing better than I did.

Little Miss S does not engage in pretend play, apparently, which is just hilarious given the amount of 'birthday cake' I eat every single night. Meh - don't worry about it is right. Teachers are compelled to give an area for work, for each child. When it gets down to knowledge of ticky-tack things, then I don't know what you're supposed to do. Again, Kelly, it's back to the perfection - babies aren't perfect, either, nor should they be. They should, well, be kids, and for quite a time, scissor skills be damned!

I got all "cans" except for galloping. It was so bad they felt to put a note and it has haunted me to this day ... "cannot gallop and refuses to try" Of course I don't want to try!! I can't freakin' do it and you are just going to tell my parents that I couldn't do it, and I'll be embarrassed in front of the class!
