Pip update

[emmacrew]

So, I had his parent-teacher conference today. They have a non-traditional report card system, measuring various skills and behaviors on a couple of different scales. He scored at grade level in two areas: math and music. Significantly below grade level in PE. Yeah, he's our kid. He was in between on most other things

Yay!

By the way, I was just reminded of the Pip connection -- have you seen this?

[emmacrew]

I've sporadically run across them here and there.

Heartwarming to read of Pip's progress! I like his capitulation to peer pressure, or is it feminine wiles ;-).

[emmacrew]

In the past he's generally ignored his peers, so I'm going for feminine wiles. She apparently keeps an eye out for him at recess and stuff, too.

Since you mention Pip, I was actually wondering if some time one of you grownups and he would like to go with me for a visit to the air & space museum. And if Pip's up for meeting new kids we could bring along my friend Sean and his daughter Olivia.

Yes! We will be away for a bit, but between Thanksgiving and Symphony Holiday Insanity would work, otherwise we're probably looking at winter break.

Yayyyyy Philip! My goodness how I'd like to meet the little guy.

Isn't it cool to watch the little ones make such great strides? I don't talk about it much because I don't want to jinx it, but C has really taken off with his reading over the last few months.

Now if I could just get him to *eat*. Hooray little boys turning into big boys!

[emmacrew]

Clearly the secret is a cute girl.

I found notes in Conor's backpack from two different girls. One of them claims she's going to marry him someday, the other one says "I didn't steal you from Cassie" with hearts and a princess drawn on it.

Oh dear. I should send in a note that says "Dear Cassie, please make Conor eat all of his lunch."
