Count down... one week until Toddler Room

It's coming fast and furious now. This week our little lady will be having lunch in the toddler room... sitting on the little blue chairs and eating at the tiny table with her fellow classmates. I've tried to make her lunches look as close to her friends' as possible so she can continue to eat healthy, natural, and mostly organic food but not seem too different from them. Please wish us luck in this! Yes, it's a bit time consuming (but so was making her other food at first) but we feel if she eats it the time is totally worth it.

Last week she ventured out on the playground for the first time and rode the rocking horse... and LOVED it I might add. Her current teacher noted, "she didn't even try to eat the wood chips!" Always a good sign I would think :)

Today or tomorrow her custom nap mat will come and hopefully we can get her used to it before she has to start taking naps on that next week... we'll see. I must say her teachers are doing a great job to get her acclimated to the next room. She's doing so great!

With all this she seems to be growing up before our eyes. She's walking more and more steady (and faster!) and seems to be getting more opinions and attitude of her own (odd, don't know where that comes from). These pics should tell the tale...

First lunch on her big girl plate a few weekends ago


Watching Special Agent Oso in her chair - how she can often be found in the mornings as we finish up... Doesn't she look so old?


Let's see what havoc I can do to the TV


And her little attitude comes out... "no, really don't take it away from me"


"Daddy, NOoooo!"
