Mid quarter PTC at Griffin's school

We went to Griffin's school for their mid quarter PTC. We arrived before 10:30 am, luckily there were no other parents waiting so I was able to talk to Teacher Karen right away. She had very good feedback on Griffin's performance. She told me that Griffin is smart. He is doing well in school. He recites when he knows the answer and does well in his worksheets. She told me though that he easily cries and does not talk much to his classmates. Although, I think he does not mingle much with his classmates because he does not know them so well yet. I wanted to talk to his Chinese teacher too but there was a long line so I decided not to anymore. Anyway, he's doing well in Chinese. I just got a graded worksheet and he got a perfect score. He was able to recognize the chinese characters that the teacher dictated. I'm surprised he could recognize the characters because I haven't practiced him at home except for posting a list on the wall with the English meanings.

The PTC actually lasted for just 5 minutes but we stayed for around 30 minutes more because Griffin wanted to play in the playground. We left at around 11:10am. Griffin said he had so much fun in school even if there were no classes.

Hailey walks

Hailey can now walk very well. At home, she walks around the house barefoot. She was even able to walk around the mall wearing shoes. It used to be difficult for her to walk around with shoes. She hasn't tried running yet. I am sure she'll start running in a few more days. At this time, Hailey doesn't talk yet. She has yet to say her first word.

Hailey's 4th and 5th tooth

Hailey's 4th and 5th tooth have erupted from her gums. It is the tooth next to her lower right front tooth
and the upper left front tooth.
