Day 1 in the Toddler Room

Today was Tyler's first full day in the Toddler room and it went pretty well. His teachers don't get in until 9 so I drop him off to the floaters, but that works out ok and I like the floaters a lot. I mentioned to one of them that we had a hat for him to wear outside and they remembered to get it for him when they went out to play. Drop off is a lot more busy in the Toddler room, so it consequently is a faster process than what we're used to.

He didn't eat well today but that's because he's not a huge fan of pasta and they had Mac & Cheese. They generally don't have something else - because they want them to eat what's offered - and since Tyler eats the snacks well we are ok with it. Soon he will realize that he's gotta eat. And until then we know he'll eat when he gets home (and he sure did today). The teacher also remarked that if they are hungry they won't sleep, and he napped GREAT today.

He knows several of the kids in this room from when they were in the infant program together. His journal has some really cute pictures of him and those kids, including one of him and another girl holding hands at lunch!!

Funny stories from today:

- He and his buddy Tristan know each other and hang out a lot. Apparently today they were outside and he crawled over to Tristan (who is walking) and didn't like that Tristan was standing up and he wasn't, so he went and got one of the walking toys so he could stand too. Smart kid!

- he napped great today, like I mentioned. He's been sleeping on a cot the last 3 days of last week and transitioned fine to it (helps that we have one at home). Today he was snoozing and Tristan came over and woke him up. We saw that last week on the video last week too, made us giggle!

- Then he and Tristan were seated for snacktime. They were sitting across from each other at a rectangular table, just the 2 of them. Reminded me of 2 old men sitting at a table about to play checkers; too funny!

We also had a great holiday weekend, except Tyler was teething. He seriously has a mouth full of teeth! He had a slight fever, was drooling all over the place, chewed his fingers and pulled on his ears. Caused some teary crying episodes but once we broke out the Orajel swabs all was well.

Tomorrow morning is our 15 month appt!
