Besides learning that both the boys are doing great academically, making friends, being respectful to their teachers, and showing great leadership abilities (Jacob's teacher swears that he will someday run for President), we also learned the following:
Caleb's teacher: "The only thing that I have to talk to Caleb about is not getting distracted with all of the girls. They all love him! They offer him their sweaters and beg to sit by him, and I have to remind him to focus on his work." Same story – different year. 🙂
Jacob's teacher: "One of the small things I'd like him to work on is just being willing to work with the girls in the class. He's not mean to the girls…but I'd like to see him communicate and team-build with them a little more. Some of them are very shy and quiet and he can sometimes dominate in a group setting."
Could these two boys be any different?!
The good news is that we LOVE each of their teachers. They are having great years at school, and we feel so grateful (especially now that we know the alternative). Jacob's anxiety level is way down, and seems to enjoy the learning again. Caleb is happy and cheerful about school. And when they're happy – I'm happy.
