Therese helping us rake the leaves two weeks ago.About a week and a half ago we had our first parent-teacher conference for Therese. That's right, we had a conference for our two year old. Anyhow, we sat down across from Reese's teacher who subsequently took out her paperwork for our conference, straightened it on her lap, then looked us straight in the eye and said, "Well, Therese is a very verbal child." :-) You can say that again. She also remarked that Therese is very independent. You think? I guess it's good to know that she's herself at school.
Overall the conference was very good and it was nice to hear how Therese is doing when we are at work. The paperwork documented how Therese is doing in regards to different social and developmental skills. Reese's teacher pointed out a part that asked if Therese can count to three. She was remarked with enthusiasm that she's heard her count to eleven. Yeah, Therese can count to twenty....in German.... On Saturday she made it to 44 in English... I guess that's what you get with a "very verbal" child.
Tonight I was reading Therese one of her bedtime stories (ok, she was "reading" it to me - reciting the lines and pausing to make me fill in words like I usually do to her. When I'd say the right word, she'd clap and say, "You're right! It is ____!"). Anyhow, we got to the page that says, "Eight little ladybugs looking up at heaven..." She then paused and asked, "Do you know what heaven is?" Intrigued, I asked, "What is heaven?" She replied, "Heaven means Jesus is God." Interesting...
