Getting ready

Over the past few weeks, Lucas has been spending time in the Young Toddler room-this is the room he will be in for the next "school year." Apparently he loves it! He loves the teachers, loves all the playing they do and I would imagine he really likes the bigger kids. He gets so excited around our older nephews so it wouldn't be a surprise that he enjoys the company of the older kids-older being between 14 months and 2 years. Earlier this week they said he spend most of the day with them-he ate lunch with them and even took his nap with them. This is huge for me, and Lucas. I had hoped he wouldn't have any major issues with the transition.

He will be going with another little guy from the Infant Room-Brian. Apparently Brian has had some struggles. I was picking Lucas up one evening and the center director was telling the Infant Room staff that Brian needs to get over there more because he is going to be there in the coming weeks. It felt good to know that Lucas is handling the transition to this point OK.

Lucas as also cut one more tooth-this time on the top and we can barely make out a second one. I hope that one comes in soon because I am so ready to get him to eat more table food. He is doing really well at feeding himself and even started to pick up his sippy cup and put it in his mouth-he hasn't figured out that he needs to tip it back a bit to get some water out of it.

And Lucas is so close to crawling it hurts! He is really rocking back and forth and some days I am sure he is just going to shoot himself up and fly through the air. He is also trying to pull himself up on things-chairs, Marc, laundry baskets. Nothing is safe anymore!
