Smarty pants

 Tonight we were invited to school for smarty pants, aka: Regan's conference. 

It was one of those proud parent moments where we got to hear all about her wonderful attributes pertaining to academia and beyond. 

We talked about her reading levels, math lessons, behavior choices and friendships. 

Sending her off to school each day, we know we are only going to hear about a fraction of her day when she comes home. So getting an overall picture, from an outside source (her teacher AND student teacher), is something we look forward to. 

And that overall picture is that she is our shining star! 

We are grateful she loves to read and is reading beyond expected grade levels. It struck me tonight when Mrs M. said "First, we learn to read. And now, she reads to learn". 

Incredible. Seriously incredibly amazing. To think, just one year ago, we were getting through sight words. And now, she's breezing through chapter books like it's nobody's business.

She's picked up on her daddy's knack for numbers too, and for that, this mommy is GRATEFUL!

We love you smarty pants! 

Thank you for making us proud!
