haha... i'm thinking that every parent probably thinks their child is gifted in some way, right? :)
today was my first parent-teacher conference, which basically means that the teacher told me all about their activities/curriculum, purpose, rating system (to keep track of milestones in a long list of different categories), photos, etc. i really believe the staff works hard to get all these kids to develop all kinds of skills, and i am super impressed by them. they seem to really balance teaching the kids independence and obedience in this classroom. and they notice each individual kid and their quirks! i LOVE this daycare, like with little crayon-drawn hearts coming from my eyes. also, it's a chain, if you'd like to check them out (and i think i get a referral discount, so let me know if you do).
anyway, so back to the special-ness part. let's see, mosey is only 26 months, but the teacher was saying that he has already caught on to a lot of the activities. like sorting colors and shapes--they ask mosey to do his last because he is so eager and quick to finish that it doesn't give other kids the chance to figure it out! they will soon put his cubby on the bottom shelf so that he can get pull out his own box and blanket for naptime (only a handful of kids get this privilege). he basically understands what he needs to do in any activity after one or two times of explanation (he doesn't follow instructions every time because he is known to be a bit of a rebel). he is one of the rare few (the only other kid is michael, who they say is like mosey's partner in crime), that spends a good amount of time in each station in the classroom. she said each station has a different focus and teaches different developmental skills, and he is really interested in everything. also, he pooped in the potty after naptime without anyone asking him to!
i'm so proud i could just explode.
