Back into the swing of things!

Before you get all excited, just stop. We have no pictures to post today.

We can tell you about JR's first week back at school (last week), marking his official move from the baby room to the Toddler Room. He is a big boy now, eating lunch at a teeny table with all of his friends, time on the playground and napping on a little mat! Moving up also means dealing with very serious matters, such as attacks from a class bully (on the first day of school, no less). Luckily, teachers Sarah and Dudley seem to have nipped the bully in the bud, so no more acts of violence and "incident reports"! We get a daily report and now a weekly newsletter on the curriculum (they are studying the story Brown Bear, Brown Bear, what do you see and are learning all about animals (noises, colors, habitats, diets).

JR continues to be one with a BALL. He is not a ball snob, any 'ol ball will do. Any size or shape, he will throw, kick, and now (his newest trick)...hit with a mini-baseball bat. This is is very favorite activity du jour, and he gets very upset when you suggest any other activity instead. I caught him on video showing off his baseball skills and will upload the video soon and post a link here on the blog!
