In the spirit of the last few posts:
DD5 is a kindergartner in a developmental preschool and will go to grade school in fall. Today we had the big "ready or not" conference, and I got a glowing report that my little stubborn screamer was an absolute sunshine in class, always motivated and the first to volunteer for whatever activity was proposed. Also they told me that she was amazingly pro-social, always aware of a younger kid needing help and being right there to do it even before the teachers notice. We agreed that having a disabled baby brother was part of the reason and that we have to make sure that she doesnt feel overly pushed into a "helper" role. But I am still so very proud of he and told her so!
