New Classroom

My kids are always changing. One day they will be great eaters- the next they won't touch anything. One day they will be super shy, the next they will talk to anyone who is in earshot. One day they will sleep (okay they don't do that often- but sometimes) and the next they won't sleep a wink.

When Ryan was younger, probably until he was about 2 1/2, he was really shy around people he didn't know. He was terrible with transition because he was nervous about who would be in charge of him. Moving classrooms/ classes/ really any change in schedule would send him into a tizzy. Well, Ryan just changed classrooms at school this week- he went from being the oldest in his class to the youngest, he went from a class of mostly girls (who tend to be calmer) to a classroom full of crazy boys, he also has brand new teachers. His reaction? Nothing. He loves it, his teacher today (after a week of being in the class) said that he acts as though he has always been in that class. If anything he is blossoming because of it. His imagination has gotten really amazing, he can play whole games with different characters etc. just playing alone with a truck. When I came into his classroom to pick him up he was playing "super hero's" with his new friends. So I guess all my worry early on that transitions would always be super hard with him were a little premature. I guess I should learn my lesson from that one and continue to hold out hope that one of these days he will enjoying trying new foods.
