The Rainbow Room

12-29-07 036

We had our first parent-teacher conference with Logan's preschool teachers yesterday. While it's clear that he absolutely loves preschool (evidenced by the fact that he talks about the other kids and his teachers ALL the time and often purports to be them—as in, "Logan, get your shoes on." "No, my name is Casey!"), it was a sheer delight to receive rave reviews about his presence in the Rainbow Room.

While I'm sure a number of children receive rave reviews, there is a certain kind of pride that erupts when a teacher says, "Logan is so smart and creative," and "Logan is just a treat for a teacher." Although he started three months later than the other children, he fit right in. And while it took him awhile to step out of his comfort zone (read: guitar), he now assuredly plays well with others. He's doing more pretend play, which we also notice at home, and is especially fond of the instruments (no surprise there) and the train table. He doesn't wander over to the art area much on his own (which the teachers think is because it's a more solitary activity), but he loves going to art class and "exploring the world around him."

He's thriving in preschool. We couldn't have asked for more.
