Meet the Parents' Day

We attended our 2nd Meet the Parents' Day at J's school on Thurs. Seems like the little one has been doing very well in most aspects. We are very pleased with his progress thus far and the teachers seem very impressed with his development too. So it was a happy meeting, everyone was all smiles. Us smiling like idiots with so....much pride, and the teachers no doubt smiling with pride too, pleased with their nurturing skills. Haa...

In the report we were given:
1) J is the only one who can write in class, despite the fact that he's the youngest.
Awww.....we are so...........proud.
2) J's in the advanced stage of reading. Only 3 children in the class can read, as in they can recognize words and read books by themselves. Most of the other children requires much more assistance. The other 2 boys are the oldest in the group. So J's reading skill is really not too bad.
3) J is very bossy. He likes to hang out with the girls and boss them around. According to the teachers, it's quite likely bcos he's the youngest boy and the older boys will talk back to him when he gives his orders. So he has learnt to hang out with those who will listen and look up to him. (Hahahahaa.....)
4) Loves to eat......he is quite possibly, the easiest kid to feed in school.
5) Very impatient with his food.
6) Loves his Speech & Drama class, and is showing quite abit of potential. His form teacher has taken a video clip of him for a commercial audition.
7) Very helpful, to the point of pissing off his friends. There was once where they were all asked to bring their favourite fruits to school. J named most of the fruits before the children can do their "presentations". One of the girls got so upset that she burst into tears...oooppsss..
8) Listen and follow instructions very well. ( I think this special skill is reserved for school. We usually have a hard........time screaming at him to follow our instructions. )
9) Can do his work very well without much supervision. He usually finishes his work much faster than the other children and........end up doing his friends' worksheets.
10) Knows how to pacify his teachers when they are upset with him. He'll strike his signature pose (fingers pointed at his cheeks with a wide smile) or he'll start singing and dancing. The principal said she just can't stay angry with J for long.
11) Gets along very well with all the children. He has quite a few good friends among the older children. Some of them takes good care of him.

So it's been a fruitful 9 months. J has learnt much and seems to be well loved.
We'll post some of the pics the teachers have given us soon.
