Our First Parent/Teacher Conference

We feel so grown-up! We met with Lola's teacher, Sydney today for Lola's first parent-teacher conference. They give Lola the unofficial most improved award for their class, as she is doing really well. When she went to the 2 year old class, it was only one day a week for two hours, and she liked it, but she didn't talk to us about it afterwards, like some of the other kids did. We definitely can see a big difference now that she goes to school 5 days a week, 3 hours a day. The consistency is really helping, and she seems to understand what she's supposed to do. Routine is working for her. Sydney told us she was grateful that we do continue to sign with Lola as it helps her a lot. Lola will demonstrate that she did understand plus it helps to make clear what she is saying.


Lola has been doing some chores around the house now. She feeds the dogs and cats (with help of course) and also helps when we walk the dogs by holding Jackson's leash. Our animals are very good to put up with her aggressive love.

Turtle Glasses!

Unfortunately I'm not as good of a photographer as Derrick because I didn't get in the frame that she was also signing "turtle" and looking at herself with her fun turtle glasses!

Three Word Sentence

Lola's language is really taking off. She told her dad in both sign and vocally - "cat hurt Lola." Lola loves her animals very much, but sometimes her love hurts. Spike, our black and white kitty, is very patient, but even he has his breaking point. But they never stay mad at each other for long.
