Toddler 3 Class

Jack is in the process of transitioning to a new class at school. Its kinda a big step as he's now in the Toddler 3 room, the last room before entering the pre-school level of classes. The director thought Jack would benefit from moving up a little early, especially with the twins arriving in a couple of months. We agreed there's no sense in putting Jack through a transition at school while undergoing a major change at home. It makes sense-- but I will admit, Jack really seems to miss his old class and classmates. In fact, every morning he tries to go in the "Green Door" to Toddler 2 instead of the "Red Door" in his new room. I'm hoping that this adjustment period is a rather short one. He's fine once the day gets started...once he's in his class, he does pretty well. Its just tough during "drop off" time. Its definitely good that this is happening now and not later.
His new class has a lot more structure. They have more reading time and craft time. On Wednesday mornings, Jack participates in "Sweet Pea Fitness," which is an hour-long gymnastics class. I think this is one of Jack's most favorite activities. This weekend, we saw for ourselves how much he's learning in gymnatics. He can do yoga positions like downward dog and can balance in a tripod position, lifing his leg towards the ceiling. He can even do a forward roll-- on command.
This room also has one other feature: a little toddler bathroom. And Jack's gone on the potty 4 times now. Pretty cool. This is surely going to help us with potty training.
So far so good :)
