I was at parent / teacher conference today -- which isn't really called that by the school but is still my preferred name for it. Jake's teacher asked as I was leaving, "Did you know that all of the girls think Jake is cute?" She overheard them on the playground talking about how "hot" Jake was. She tried to convince the girls that in first grade they should just be friends and not be talking about who was "hot". Somehow I don't think it helped but it was a nice try.
That reminded me that last year I had two seperate Moms come and talk to me about Jake. One was saying that her daughter really thought Jake was cute. The other told me how she had found her boy standing in front of a mirror combing his hair. She asked what he was doing and he said "I'm trying to make my hair look like Jake's because the girls all think Jake is cute". So if you want to know what "hot" looks like to a first grade girl you can look at Jake. The interesting thing to me is that size must not be a factor to the girls so much because I think most of them are bigger than Jake.
Aside from being "hot" (and I didn't take Jake this time so he is probably clueless about his high status with the first grade babes) Jake is doing very well in school and his teacher absolutely loves him. He even occasionally talks to much! Connor is doing well too. His teacher sent home a note about him yesterday because she is so impressed with him. It's nice to go to conferences that are mainly happy and it was interesting to learn who's "hot" in the first grade.

I agree. He's definitely cute. I think it's all about the adorable smile. And smart too! Wow! Like his mom! It reminded me of a mom last year who told me that her daughter came home (from preschool) and said, "If Parker asks me to marry him, I'm going to say yes." I hope some of this boyish charm ebbs before they turn 16.
All the hunks in the teen flicks lately are named "Jake." Yeah, we watch those sometimes around here.
just be glad that he's still young enough to be cute and "hot" rather than steamy and "hawt"...
and we've always thought of Jake as a cutie :)
I always liked the cute, sweet, petite boys around that age, so Jake would fit in nicely to that mold. They can't be mean, and they have to pretend not to like it.
Our SEP's are tomorrow and I'm thinking it's a waste because we just had em!
Yeah, I'm not into little boys being called hot. Let's stick with cute on the under 16 crowd people!
I'm wishing we could just email SEPs. Save everyone the time of sweating under the teacher's gaze while thinking of 3 new goals for this term....
I was so thankful that Connor's teacher came up for the goals with me that I told her thanks and how I hate trying to make up goals while I'm sitting there. I wrote something lame on Jake's like "I'll read with him" -- like that's new!
He is quite the hottie!!
I have one of those too, only he's getting bigger and it's not so "cute" anymore.
Glad Jake is doing well in school.
