We had our first "parent-teacher conference" with Clara's toddler room teachers yesterday, too. Well, Julie had it with Ms. Lisa. Ted stayed home to make sure the bambini didn't burn the place down, and we suppose it was Ms. Lisa's turn to do the conferences. In any case, Julie learned that three months in, Clara is now comfortable with the room's routines. Birdie reportedly loves washing her hands. They cannot quote get her out of the sink end quote. She is also, reportedly, very neat. If she drops food on the floor when she's eating, Our Clara stops everything, gets out of her chair, and picks it up. Apparently, she likes to play with the kitchen items (the dishes especially; the yellow cup is her favorite), the books, and the baby dolls. She is also quite the dancer, as we knew.
So Clara, too, now really has her own little world that she navigates without our help. We remember when we realized that Joe was enacting a veritable Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Joe Ekkers?!) every day at KinderCare. Amazing! It shouldn't be, but somehow, it is. So it is with some relish that Julie settled into one of the little chairs last night and asked her two questions: "What is Clara's favorite thing to play with?" and the more open ended "What does she do all day?"
