If he can convince them to put that kid in 2nd grade at the end of the year, that kid is screwed. He also went on about how he spent thousands of dollars to make sure his kid could go to this school. I didn't exactly know what that meant but I thought that was funny considering this school had open enrollment and I didn't pay a dime to send my kid there.

His logic being he was so smart when he was in school, he didn’t do any of his work because it was just too easy. LOL. I’ve never understood that logic. That guy’s kid walked into the room for a minute during this conference to use the bathroom and I was thinking to myself that guy needs to get control of that kid. There is no way she would be socially mature enough to sit in a room full of 7 year olds next year. Of course it gets better. He goes on to say that when he was dating his wife, she told him that she had bulimia but is fine now. So then he tells the teacher that the kindergartner comes home with a half eaten lunch and tells him she didn’t eat it because she doesn’t want to get fat. I have never heard of a kindergartener worrying about getting fat.

Completing first grade? Seriously? His kid is 3 weeks into kindergarten and he is already convinced she will be ready to move up to 2nd grade. People are amazing

I think it is easier. My 2 year old girl is very independent, and it is nice that I can ask her to do something and she is capable of doing it

I agree. Once they can move around, they spend all their time in the kitchen cabinets and opening any other door they can reach.

my 4 month old daughter reached for me for the first time yesterday, or she just leaned in my direction with her arms out. either way, i'll take it.

she's still 96% for height and 50% for weight.

Conversation this morning between my wife and our son:

Son: "What if we wanted to keep a movie we rented?"
Wife: "We'd have to buy our own copy, otherwise it's stealing."
Son: "Right! And only ninjas steal."
