The oldest. Our leader

Last evening we ventured to Regan's 2nd grade parent/teacher fall conference. I've always wondered exactly what my parents talked about with my teachers back when I was a wee one, and I feel so blessed to be on this parent journey. We heard Regan's lovely teacher talk about her academics as well as her social tendencies during her school day. We listened to stories that made us proud (she is reading well above grade level and grasping math concepts like nobody's business), and laughed at examples of how we know she sometimes gets distracted by chit-chat with friends (she's a girl, we should expect this!). 
But her teacher raved about one specific attribute, and that is how grateful he is that she will, whenever asked, work with anyone in the class. He went on to explain that some students prefer not to work with certain students who may struggle with reading or get a little antsy on projects. But over and over he told us that Regan is the student who will work with any of her fellow classmates. And, he, along with us, are thankful for that. 
She is our oldest, and we hope the others follow her lead. 
We are so proud of you Regan!
