I've had the pictures uploaded but haven't had a chance to write about it yet. Daniel's first day at Blue Bird Academy went as well as could be expected, but since that was nearly a month ago now, it seems so long ago. He was a little timid at first but he is always happy to help take David to his classroom (downstairs) and then climb the big stairs up to his classroom. And unlike Miss Zulee's he was now the youngest in his room. C'mon kids, teach this boy how to use the potty!
For the first few days we wanted him to have a few comfort items like his "backpack" and his "bin" to help with the transition. But we've gradualy had to keep those home since he would run over to his cubby throughout the day to keep them with him. First it was the bin. Bin HAD to go. Then it was the giraffe in his backpack. Then it was a hot day when he refused to take off his hoody sweatshirt. Now it's a "pony", one of my hairbands. So as hard as it was for Daniel to not have those items with him it is equally hard for this mommy to leave a crying, not usually clingy child begging to "go back to the car!".
His teachers are great though. Miss Cesci is the lead in the morning and will take him from me straight to the other kids who are playing (he's usually whining a bit) and then Miss Joanna in the afternoon gives us the report of "he slept well, ate everything...followed me around to help me with everything". That's right, Daniel is already the teacher's pet! While he's still clingy and a bit whiney when I leave him, he always seems happy when we get him and will turn to the class as he leaves to let out a big "BYE!!!" And then on the weekends we hear him singing songs from school and saying the names of his classmates...I think that there's a Sarah who might be a little girlfriend. Whatever makes the transition easier, I guess!
