My how time flies!! We are back in school already...the summer went by way too fast! Emersen is now in Room 2 at the 'college' daycare. It is a more age-appropriate room; however, she was moved a week earlier than expected so that was cause for some transition situations. She now has 2 weeks under her belt and seems to be doing just fine. Most of her buddies are in the same room and she usually has 3 (if not more) teachers in the room at all times. They have a flexible schedule which includes things like song time, story time, "messy" activity time, and outdoor play.
The biggest changes include the fact that (1) each child has his/her own cot (yes, no crib!!!) and they only pat backs to sleep, no more rocking and (2) all the kids eat together at one big toddler sized table! Eme went w/out a nap for 2 days(ugh!!), but finally got the hang of it and usually sleeps at least 1 hr. if not more. She also enjoys mealtime and is so excited and ready to eat breakfast when Trevor drops her off.
Now that she is a little bit older, I am a little bit more comfortable with her at "school"; however, I love it when she runs across the room to me when I pick her up in the afternoon! :)
Now, if we could just get the teething difficulties to vanish, that would be awesome!
August 2010..hardly able to sit up by herself
August 2011..walking, standing..doesn't she look so grown up and toddler-like?
She loves, loves books!!
