Parent-Teacher Conferences

It's that time of year again...parent-teacher conferences. The three oldest girls' conferences went as anticipated but then it came time for SaraGrace's.

Since Jake's escapades have usurped SaraGrace's of late, those of you who are newer to the blog may not know that she was just as much of a stinker that Jake is.

So it was with a smothered smile and a bit of trepidation that I entered her classroom tonight.

I was not disappointed.

She cracks her teacher up.

Daily.

SaraGrace is our resident drama queen. She is actually quite talented and if she develops the self-confidence she might become quite an actress someday. She loves to draw and is far more interested in drawing than in any form of school work.

She has a reading teacher that gives her some additional help. Her comment was, "SaraGrace is the most hilarious five year old I've ever met in my life."

Yep...that's our girl!

She doesn't really mean to be funny. She is accidentally funny. She says the most outlandish things and let's just say that tact is a completely foreign concept to her.

She has dreams of becoming a fashion designer. She might need to rethink that idea... Her unique style is well-known as she parades around the neighborhood in her 'get-ups.' Her older sisters have had some moments of deep mortification when SaraGrace shows up at the bus stop to greet them wearing one of the following... (she only goes half-days, so she goes to the bus stop in the afternoon to meet her sisters)



I can't remember for sure, but I think I did draw the line on her wearing this one out of the yard. Or maybe not...
