Raina is a rockin' 4 year old!
Raina's daycare, Strictly Pediatrics, has an academic focus -- she practiced writing her letters the very first day -- so we were excited to go to our very first parent-teacher conference this week. The teacher was stressed -- maybe for all conferences, maybe just because ours was the first one -- but it was delightful. She told us what a wonderful girl Raina is (sweet and smart) and she gave us a report card on her progress. Raina passed being a 4 year old.
We knew that already because of the pediatric screening with her 4 year check-up. the parent asks the kid a series of questions or actions, and stops when the kid cannot do three of the things. Raina never got to three, which put her somewhere in the older 5's developmentally. Not bad.
We had no real concerns about our kid. We were worried that her teacher would admonish us parents because Raina is stinky (she doesn't bathe on a really frequent basis) and that she would respond poorly to our comments about computer time, but neither happened. All in all, it was a good experience.
