We attended our very first parent-teacher conference as parents. (I always thought I'd be a little bit older when that happened.) Juma is doing well in preschool. He doesn't get in fights or get bullied, he plays well with other kids and enjoys the activities. Only problem is that he's just so darn shy. (Gee, I wonder where he gets that from? Double whammy.)
He talks to the other kids just fine; it's talking to the teachers that gives him lockjaw. It wouldn't be a problem, really, if it didn't interfere with communicating needs and problems--going to the bathroom, help opening up his string cheese--but it does. (Again, sound familiar?)
But he is overcoming his determination to not talk to the teachers. He even tracks his progress at home with us. "I talked to Miss Reeny today!" or "I wasn't shy to the teachers today."
All-in-all, school had been really good to him. He's a really fun kid to have around.
I think we'll keep him.

Juma, you are awesome!
How do you make a book list on the right side of the blog? I want to make a wish list.
It's a little complicated--email me and I'll send you a detailed list on how to do it.
