Teacher meet-and-greet
We just got back from our first parent-teacher conference at Zoe’s new school. There’s not too much to report – Zoe’s happy, the teachers are happy, things are going well – but I had two favorite moments. First the PE teacher told us that Zoe was caring and compassionate towards her classmates, noting that this isn’t always the case with children of this age. (“You guys have done a good job,†he told us – but I laughed and said I think we just got lucky.) Then, her art teacher (who I’ve never before met) walked in the room, looked at me and said, “Wow, you look just like your daughter.†After years of hearing that Zoe was the spitting image of her father, I’ll take it!
