Straight A’s

Abby got her very first report card last week and, as you can see, she’s probably a genius – gifted and talented at the least. (If you’re having trouble reading the report card, click on it and you can see a bigger version.) She’s off the charts in everything, including eating lunch and going to the bathroom. Gina and I are ecstatic, as you might imagine. Of course, for all we know, every kid gets an A on everything, but we’ve decided to believe that Abby is in the top 1 percent of 3-year-olds in the city. We did have a conference with her teacher, and she said Abby is ahead of normal 3-year-olds in many areas. She can identify numbers 1 through 6, which most of the kids in the class can’t do, according to her teacher. And she knows all the main colors, which most of the kids in the class can’t do, either. Plus, (although her teacher didn’t say it) she’s clearly the cutest kid in the class, too. Brains and looks, she’s got the big two. One thing we don’t really know about is her athletic ability. I wonder if she can outrun all the kids in her class.
