So overall, I'm very proud of Mikey and i know his daddy will be too, once i get to tell him....we know what we need to concentrate on and that's GREAT! She also said that she wouldn't put him in the category of "needing help" with his speech.( which is a HUGE relief b/c we have been worried about it for a while.) We wont get to have a conference next time...its just going to be another report card sent home..like the "big kids". We will practice practice practice and hopefully we will see improvement( which would should b/c Mikey's a genious! )

Oh and its a four day...wish me luck!!!!
