Awww, she is too cute. It is both cool and weird to see so much of ourselves in our kids, I think. Rhett does the same thing, where he looks for facial cues to see how he is doing when he is reading, writing, etc. It is a skill we constantly work on, and he has worked on it in speech. I think it does get better as they gain skill and confidence. I have seen massive improvements. OMG, same here…there is no way I could be a teacher on a daily basis. Yeah, I do what I do with Rhett, as a Mom. But, a teacher? Not for me! I truly love and respect what teachers do, because it is so stinking hard.

Right there with you about GATE (they call it TARGET here, which drives me crazy, because I always think people are talking about the store haha!). It is cool if they do stuff like that, but in the long run, it’s not a big deal at all. I did it as a kid, and it’s not like I walk around with that badge of honor. It all changes once they get to middle & high school anyway. It’s great if they do it, no big deal if they don’t. I agree with you about the pressure. As a parent, I definitely don’t want some crazy pressure on my kiddo for stuff like that.

Rhett was tested last year in kindergarten for it, and did not make it. I think he will always be on the borderline, just not quite getting there. That’s the type of kiddo he is. They re-test in 1st grade, 3rd & 5th. So, he did not get it this year either. I have mixed feelings about it. From the parents and kids I’ve talked to about it, it sounds like some like it, some don’t. It’s very different than when I was in school, so I see both sides of the coin. I just want Rhett to do well in school no matter what classes he takes, and forge a successful path that he feels like he wants to travel down.

{36/365} My desk is covered in #pink. Not my usual color of choice but the flowers were too pretty not to put on display.  What does your workspace look like?

So both are good parts, but as we celebrate her 11th birthday - I marvel at the young lady she’s become. She continues to blossom with each passing day. Happy Birthday my sweet baby girl!
