Officially a Toddler...

Jackson is now officially a toddler...He has completed the transition into the Toddler Room at school. They originally placed him and his two buddies (a little boy and a little girl that are the same age as him) into a transition room at the beginning of June. These kids were just beginning to think about walking and therefore weren't quite ready to mingle with the big kids. Well, fast forward a few weeks and these kids are officially walkers, so it was time to make the big transition. They were going to start it as a slow transition for Jackson since he can get upset when his routine changes. So yesterday morning I dropped him off in the new classroom, they planned to leave him in there as long as he was still happy. Guess what?? He stayed ALL DAY! He loved it in there, was running around and playing with all the new toys and new friends. Because it went so well, they decided that the "transition" time period was complete and he is now officially a member of the Toddler Room. We are excited about this change because we think the time with the older kids will really help him with his growth and development. In fact, I already saw a few minor changes in him last night...For example, he was much more interested in using walking for all travel as opposed to the occasional crawling that he was doing after he would stumble.

Here is a pic they took at school yesterday. Sorry it is blurry, they printed it for me and then I scanned it. But I wanted you to see how incredibly excited and happy he is.
