Movin' on up!

Today was Riley's first official day in the Toddler Room!  He had been transitioning for the past two weeks by spending a few hours a day with the big kids by playing in the gym or making art projects but he spent the whole day in the new room.

The main differences between the Infant Room and the Toddler Room is that the kids eat at a table rather than in highchairs and they take naps on little maps instead of in cribs.  Eating at the table is going pretty well but taking a nap on the mat is a little more challenging.  It usually takes Riley some time to wind down so making sure that wind down time is on the mat and then actually falling asleep will hopefully work well.

The teachers said that the day went well but they warned me that he would be pretty tired tonight - they had a very active day.  Riley had a little melt down on our way out of school for no reason, but by the time we got to the car, he was ready for the ride home.

Dinner was up and down and we went between squeals of joy and shrieks of frustration.  And between the rounds of macaroni, Riley put on quite a show.
