Because I know there are still a few people who come here for the cute-kid pictures, I give you the official SteelyKid portrait for the 2013-14 academic year. This is actually a photo of a photo, because that’s the easiest way to convert the print they sent us to a digital format, and also because it gave me an excuse to play with GIMP a little. It’s not the greatest reproduction, but it’s good enough for blogging.<\/p>\n

I’m not entirely sure what’s up with her hair, here. There were a few days when she went in with a braid, and this might’ve been one. Or she might’ve asked somebody to put it up for her before the picture, though you’d think they’d’ve done a better job than that…<\/p>\n

We had our first parent-teacher conference about SteelyKid this week, at which I was somewhat disconcerted to learn that she already has standardized test scores. Not quite sure how they managed that. She’s been deemed to be at “Level B” in reading, which is probably an underestimate, but she lacks confidence, and will sometimes refuse to read things that she knows perfectly well how to read, for fear of making a mistake. They’ve started sending short books home with her every day, though, and she powers right through most of them.<\/p>\n

She’s also developed a fascination with Scooby-Doo books, which is kind of maddening, because they’re really pretty awful. We’ve had to buy three for home, though, and she’s working her way through the apparently limitless stock of them in the school library. But hey, it could probably be much, much worse…<\/p>\n
