We started to transition Lucas to his new daycare this week. We went as a family on Monday and spent about 90 minutes with his new teachers and classmates. Lucas did well. He was shy for about 2 seconds and then got down and started to play with all the toys. There is a little boy in the room who we took music with. I hope the two of them get to be friends. The whole time I was watching how Lucas acted, somewhat in comparison to the other children but know that it wasn't fair because this was his first real time being in the room so things were overwhelming for him. Because there aren't as many teachers in this room, he is going to need to learn some control. When they go into their gross motor play room, the children need to sit against the wall while the teachers get some of the larger toys out. Right now at his current center, they generally let the children run and take what they want. I just hope there aren't too many tears because the teachers have to tell Lucas to stay at the wall.
I also felt like Marc and I were being evaluated by the teachers-were they watching to see how we intervened or acted in response to Lucas? I was just grateful that he wasn't clingy.
He was there for an hour by himself on Tuesday. They said he did fine-just called for Daddy a few times.
Lucas' last day at his current center is August 27th.
