It wasn't super eventful. We (unlike a lot of parents I've noticed) hang around at drop-off and pick-up to chit chat with the teachers so we know what's he's up to. Granted, it's usually totally chaos with all the other kids there. That's why we took them up on the offer for an uninterrupted chat.
The teachers had been telling us about his reluctance to join the other kids for activities. They never make any of the kids participate in any of the activities. They just make the activities available. Evan has been choosing to not participate. We're seen this for ourselves when we show up for pick-up and all the kids are playing at the sand table but Evan is sitting in a corner looking at a book. But seriously, he's the kid of two engineers. What do they expect?
Anyway, at the conference, we learned that he's getting better. She brought photo evidence. She had a bunch of pictures of all the kids, including Evan, playing together. We also got copies of his artwork, which I'm going to start scanning and make a book out of!
Overall, she said he's doing well. He's the youngest book-obsessed kid, he loves outside time, he plays well by himself, he's pleasant, he's super observant and soaks up everything they try to teach. She specifically said, if he starts pointing at things that are piled or stacked, it's because he wants you to count them with him. Well, okay.
And a few pictures from the weekend...
