We had Gerard's parent-teacher conference this afternoon and his teacher had only wonderful things to say about him. My first thought was, "Are we talking about the same kid? The one who comes home from school like a madman and can't sit still? The one who has to be asked eighty-seven times to do a simple task?" Well, apparently she was talking about our son, and he is an angel in school.
Mrs. S's first comment was "Gerard is a very special boy. You must be very proud."
Indeed we are....
She went on to say that he's at the top of his class, he's "like a sponge," he is well behaved, he pays attention and participates in class.
Way to go Gerard!
Now if he could only be that perfect at home!!!!
I thought this would be a good opportunity to post his school picture since I haven't done it yet. Doesn't he look handsome?

That's our boy!
Why are you surprised? Gerard should be proud of himself too. (As a teacher, I must add that they're ALWAYS different children at home!)
He sound perfect to me!
Did she mention that he led the class in putting together a pet peeves list...then you know it's your boy! Seriously, I'm not surprised at his academic and social achievements. And his picture is adorable. I have to figure out how to get spencer's school picture scanned in!
he is "picture perfect"
what a great shot
and children are sooooo different at school - home is where they can really be themselves (thank goodness most of them are not always their real selves in school)
my older son used to come home from kindergarten and jump on his bed nonstop for about 10 minutes each day
released the tension and made for a better student the next day
and you SHOULD be proud
And so it begins... Call the boy Damian? Only kidding. Love to all. Can't wait to see you.
