Little Prodigy

We had Jack's school conferences with his first grade teacher this week and I have to admit, I had one of those "I have the best kids in the world" moments. I'm constantly amazed at how smart he is! His teacher told us he scored either 1st or 2nd in his grade in math (out of 7 first grade classes). He is doing math and reading at a third grade level - in his second month of 1st grade. His teacher has been so great for him! She has his doing math and reading at his own level vs letting his learn with his class. She does one on one math with him when the other students are working on other work. She also has him doing some AR (advanced reading) courses on their computer system, to test how smart he is. WOW! So I'm sorta planning on just coasting in my career, and waiting until Jack makes the big bucks, and then just live off him for the rest of my life....that is if his pro baseball career doesn't take off :) JK JK JK, but it could happen! ;) But wanna know another cool thing? His teacher said it feels like she has another adult to talk to in the classroom with Jack. Sometimes it's a long day with a bunch of 1st graders, but with Jack in the room she feels like she's talking to an adult. I love it.
