Parent Teacher conference

First day of school Aren was asked to draw a picture of herself and this is what she drew. I was a little surprised by the drawing and I asked her what it was (it didn't look anything like a person) and she told me that it was her as a baby in my tummy. You have to remember that at that time I was pregnant with Lizzy and she was so fascinated with my belly.
So, I went to Parent teacher conference and I was told that my daughter can't draw a recognizable person with at least 7 bodyparts. I was a little shocked because I've seen Aren draw our whole family and it didn't look anything like that so when I came home I asked her to draw a picture of herself and instead she drew her father. LOL
Then she started drawing herself and soon it started to look like her school picture; there is a head in that belly, but she colored it the same color; after all, you can't see the baby in mommy's belly without an ultrasound. LOL
I have lots of pictures drawn by her that look like this; our whole family with me pregnant. LOL I guess that's how she remembers me, with a belly. LOL And the next picture is once more a picture of her in my belly; it started out as a face and it ended up all blue and unrecognizable.
And finally a picture that she draw a few weeks ago; if you can't tell, this is a superhero. She was so excited about Halloween that she drew this and when I asked her what she drew she looked at me puzzled like I should have known; after all it is obvious that it is a Super. :P
During the Parent Teacher conference I was told everything that my daughter couldn't do. I felt like I was at a doctor's office and that I was pointed out all the problems that my kid had. Some of those things I thought were a little overboard. I was told that Aren can't sort her colors and that she can't repeat a nursery rhyme. She can definitely do both of those things. Humpty Dumpty is our favorite nursery rhyme and when I came home I asked her to sing it to me and she did. I have to do a recording of her because she is just too cute.

I was also told that she doesn't recognize the color brown; that is because she says it in Hungarian. Silly girl, but after all why should we remember the colors we don't like (such as gray) LOL In every book that I own, they never include brown nor gray and I wonder why.

I was reminded again that next month they will learn how to write their names and they should do it properly; starting with an upper case and going to lower case. Aren loves to do things in her own way and if I try to push her to do it in any other way, she shies away and refuses to do it. I tried all sorts of bribery and now she started writing (she copies it). I was also told by her teacher that the proper way to write an A is pointed rather than rounded. I thought it was so cute that Aren wrote her A's rounded and she definitely knows how to draw a triangle. I was never taught to write A's pointed; we were taught cursive since day one. I guess times changed, or maybe cultures, but I am so proud of Aren; she is so smart and bright. She has a great sense of direction and I love everything about her. She is my great helper and yesterday we had a great day shopping together and I was reminded by her that I was the best mommy ever (after I bought her a Barbie doll; I was looking for that doll for a year now - off and on). I told her that it is part of her B-day gift and she was ok with that. :D I hope she will forget about it till her B-day, but she has a pretty good memory. :D Would it be a bad thing t celebrate her B-day now; she can't tell time anyways and she is so excited to be 5.
