Moving up!

Next week, Trey starts his transition into Nursery II at school. In other words, he is graduating from the little baby class to the not-so-little baby class. Typically, Nursery II is for babies between crawling and walking age, with some give and take either way depending on the needs in each class. With this transition comes a whole new world: regular nap times, lots of new toys to stimulate the crawling baby, more defined eating habits, and even the introduction of baby sign language. It also means saying goodbye to a group of teachers we have come to know and love.

Trey is moving up with his friend John (another John III!), who is officially his first friend. The two boys already have a lot in common. Besides a shared name, John also has a father and a grandfather who are lawyers. And they were born just four days apart (John is a Valentine's Day baby!). Trey and John play together every day and their beds in Nursery I are right next to each other. One of the teachers told me today that when Trey and John were in the Bye Bye Buggy (large stroller for 6) yesterday, sitting next to each other, they were holding hands!

So, we will desperately miss Ms. Cynthia, Ms. Vicki, Ms. Alicia, and the other teachers of Nursery I, and Trey will say goodbye for now to his other little friends in the class. But we will get to know a new group of wonderful teachers, including Ms. Angel, whom we met today, and Trey will get to see some of his old friends from Nursery I who moved to Nursery II in the past couple of months. And we're not moving very far - Nursery II is just right across the hall!
