Moving up!

Another graduation day is coming for Baby Trey. Next week, he moves up to the Movement 1 class at school! Movement 1 is for babies who have started walking or are around 1 year, depending on space and needs. Sure enough, a spot opened up for Trey just as he was meeting both criteria, so off he goes!

Movement 1 will have lots of new challenges for our little boy. In addition to learning to master walking, the toddlers (can we say that now?!?!) sit at little tables and chairs (bye-bye highchairs!), feed themselves independently (which he does with bites of food, but not yet with a spoon), learn to stand and wash their hands (without a baby wipe? what?!?!), nap on mats (no more beds?!), and line up at the door for rides in the Bye-Bye Buggy. They also work on their vocabulary and start learning Spanish!

Trey is excited to see some of his old friends who have already moved to Movement 1, but he is sad to leave some of his other friends behind for now. Trey has become very close to Anna, in particular. They play together all the time, especially in the morning when the other (younger) babies are napping! Hopefully they will be reunited before too much longer.
