Movin' on up!

Well Garrison moved into his THIRD classroom at his daycare. He is really movin' on up! FIrst it was the itty bitty baby room, then when he was 9 months old he moved to the next room that had lots more room to play, and now he's in a room with 1-2 year olds. I met with his teacher this morning and she told me about all the cool things they do. First of all, they have a much more structured schedule, which I think will be really good for Garrison. Here's what his day will look like:

7:30-8:30 - Free play

8:30-9 - Breakfast

9-9:30 - Play outside on the playground...G LOVES it out there! That a post in and of itself :)

9:30 - All the kids come inside and line up (yes, apparently my 1 year old can line up!!). Then the Ms. Olivia washes each child's hands and face.

10 - 11 - Circle time...singing songs, learning shapes, colors, ABC's & 123's

11 - 12 - Lunch

12 - 3 - Naptime/quiet time (G now sleeps on a cot instead of a crib and he's doing GREAT!)

3 - 3:30 - Snack

3:30 - 5:30 - More learning and playing

Here is a little snipit of his 1st day's "Daily Report"....

Apparently he was very ready for this transition because he is adjusting very well :) And his new head teacher, Ms. Olivia, just couldn't love her job anymore than she does! She is just wonderful with her kiddos and they learn so much!

So even though I'm not thrilled about him being at daycare so much, I do love the environment he's in. And it helps that he's happy every day when we pick him up :)
