It's brag on Hunter time....

I have to brag about Hunter for a bit so beware.  This morning he had gotten up and was watching TV while Heath and I were still laying in bed.  Peyton was awake in her crib and starting to holler to get out.  Hunter came into our room and asked if he could go to Peyton's room so I said yes.  We watched the video monitor to see what would happen.  Hunter turned the light on and the sound machine off and then went over to say hi to Peyton.  She asked him to get into her bed so he happily climbed in.  Then he read books to her.  It was one of the sweetest moments I've seen between the two of them.  Completely melted my heart.

Friday was parent/teacher conference day at school.  It's a time for the teacher to report to the parents on how they're doing in school now that we've reached the halfway point.  They also recommend whether your child is ready for Kindergarten.  Heath and I were both able to go and meet with his teacher (who I just LOVE).  She had nothing, but amazing things to say about Hunter.  She said he's a very spirited child who is full of joy.  He loves his friends, plays with everyone and is well liked by everyone.  He respects authority.  He is a LEADER.  He aced all of the assessment tests and is definitely ready for 'the big school'.  She told us we were doing an amazing job in raising him and said she was so thankful to be able to teach him and have him in her class.  And yes, I needed a tissue after all of that.  If that isn't validation of what we're trying to do as parents I don't know what is.  Is was just so nice to hear.
