So far, so good!

We had Anthony's conferences yesterday. I think Erik and I were both holding our breath going into them. His teacher had emailed me a couple of weeks ago that he was being too social with his friends and not always staying on task. She was not super concerned but wanted to give me a heads up before conferences so we were not surprised.
We waited outside the room, I had Talia in my new Ergo baby carrier from Pout that both her and I are in love with. You plop her in it and she starts to sing a little and is out. It must have something hypnotizing about it. Right now she is really congested and is cutting 4 teeth, for the most part still pretty happy but that carrier sure helps when she isn't. Okay, I digress. Anyways back to my oldest.
Mrs. Dahl explained to us that the hard part is that Anthony is super passionate about learning and gets so excited with new projects he wants to take part in it with everyone. That is when his social skills have issue. She explained she wished she really wouldn't have called them issues because more than anything he is just excited. Okay, color is coming back into my face. He is reading at a 99% capacity level, he is in the highest level spelling and math. Anthony really enjoys learning, always take part in class, and reads with expression. He is a joy to have in class.
So we headed over to Snap Dragon to celebrate with a little Chinese food and fortune cookies to read. Here we were thinking we had "that kid" going into conferences and it turns out we are doing okay. Good job buddy! So far so good.
I have no idea where all the other social issues come from. I was really very shy when I was his age. :) Mrs. Dahl is pregnant so I told Erik I was buying her a nice gift from Pout to butter her up in case Alex lands in her classroom. He has the social bug too, its contagious around here.
