We have our first parent-teacher conference scheduled on February 1 at Zoey's preschool. Conferences for preschoolers? Overkill? Perhaps. Especially when I got the following report from one of Zoey's teachers when I picked her up last week:
Scene: standing around in the gym, waiting for Zoey to finish showing me (for the fifth time) how she can hang upside down on the miniature monkey bars.
Ms. Mynoon: Zoey was so funny today. She wanted to organize the kitchen...she took everything off the shelves, laid it out on the circle rug, then very carefully put it back in some kind of order that made sense to her.
Me: (dying with pride inside but trying not to show it) Really?!? That's so funny...I wonder where she learned that.
Ms. Mynoon: Yes. And Zoey? She does not want to dance. Ever! Can you believe that? Our class, we dance every day, and Zoey looks at us like we are crazy!
Me: Hmmm. That's strange.
(Actually, what I didn't want to tell her is that Zoey will only ever dance to the song Poker Face, by Lady GaGa. Otherwise, if I invite her to dance with me, she also gives me the I-don't-want-to-associate-with-you face, and leaves the room. And--this is just a guess--I'm pretty sure they're not playing Lady GaGa at the nice Christian preschool, so Zoey's no-dancing policy didn't come as much of a surprise.)
Not sure what other material might be covered at preschool parent-teacher conferences. It appears we have a happy, healthy, no-dancing, organizational-freak on our hands, so what else is left to talk about?

I felt the same way last year at Olivia's first conference...seems pointless to me! (And just so you know Olivia likes that song too)
