New School

Ryan had his first day at his new school on Thursday. I was nervous, it can be a lot for a toddler to have their routines changed so drastically. Imagine getting dropped off somewhere where you don't know anyone, and not having the language skills to really understand it.... with this in my head you can understand why I was nervous.

We picked the BEST school that we could find. They serve organic food, their facilities are great and the teachers all have degrees in child development/ early education. So when dropping him off we had no doubt that he would be well taken care of but we worried about the transition from his last school... well apparently there was no need for our worry.

He fell right into place. The teacher said he got involved in everything, he participated in the class discussion, played with all the toys, made new friends and had a really good time. When I went to pick him up in the afternoon he said he didn't want to go home and tried to get me to leave.... My baby is growing up which makes me sad but at the same time I am so proud of him that he handled himself so well in what could be a really stressful situation. I'm glad we decided to move him to this school, I can tell he is really going to blossom.
