We Are Proud of You

I have not been very good about keeping up with my blog lately so I am just going to jam everything into one post. Today we had parent teacher conference with Amelia's teacher, Mrs. Bradley. She had nothing but good things to say about Amelia. She is doing very well in class. Their grades are 1, 2, or 3. She mostly 3's, which mean she consistently does the task that is being measured. She got some 2's and only a couple of 1's. She needs to work on drawing shapes counting objects to make sure she is counting each one and arriving at the correct number. Mrs. Bradley said Amelia has the academic part of school down and is progressing very quickly in the social development. In fact, she said when she starts teaching patterns, Amelia is going to be her helper because she was one of the only kids who understood patterns. She also complimented Amelia's speech, which is no shock since she has been talking this way since she was 18 months old. She is doing great in school and we are very proud of her.

In other news, Amelia is also doing great in swimming lessons. She has moved up to the 3rd level in the Preschool group. This is really the last level until the Youth group and she has to be 6 to do that. Hopefully, we will be able to put her in it even if she is too young because she will probably be ready when she is 4. She can swim 20 feet doing the front crawl. She can also back stroke for 20 feet. ALL BY HERSELF. She is doing an amazing job in swimming and we are very proud of her.

Philip and I are very lucky to be the parents of such a smart, beautiful, kind, and funny little girl. Here are some pictures that really have nothing to do with this post, other than that I have not posted any in a while and they are cute.

In the purple jacket, she looks so much the way you did. Not the picture with the big nose.
