Girl's conference

Tonight, we attended conferences for our girls at Village.   First of all, Gabi is doing well and adjusting to school routines.  It's so interesting to see how her personality comes through in a different environment without her siblings.  At first, she had a hard time sharing (she is use to fighting for her toys), but has done real well at school.  She seems to gravitate to playing with the toy horses and playing house during free time.  Even though she prefers to play on her own, she is getting better at playing with her classmates. She is on track with most of her initial learning skills, and we are already seeing much improvement in her coloring and writing skills!  We think she will be a lefty for sure, but we guess there is still time to see.
Isa, ahh, Isa.  Isa had a rough time adjusting to the a full day schedule the first week of school, but has come completely around.  We couldn't be more proud of her.  Her teacher honestly looked at the clock the moment we walked in and said "15 minutes isn't enough time for me to talk about Isa."  We were gleaming.  It's so refreshing and heartwarming to know that she is an exemplary student in class.  Isa's report indicated that she had mastered all subjects they were currently working on, and scored 100% on all the material her teacher tested her on for the conference!  Keep it up baby girl!  A little over a week ago (the day after her birthday) we received this unexpected e-mail from her teacher:  "Isa is such a gift.  She is so loving and such a wonderful peer model at school.  I am so glad she is in my class this year!"  We are thrilled and hope this continues for her.  She makes us proud.
