Making Friends

Jack has been transitioning into the young toddler class at school for the past two weeks. Unfortunately, we had a few bad days where he cried a lot...so I cried a lot. I started to wonder if it was too soon to move him up. But all the teachers and my mommy friends told me to hang in there and it would get better.

Well, they were right. Jack is slowly becoming more comfortable in the room and has been having fun exploring his new environment. His new teacher, Ms. Kelly, is so sweet and always sends Jack home with really nice letters about his progress. I am so proud of him for adjusting to all of this change....wearing shoes, eating at a table and even taking a nap on a mat.

But by far, the cutest thing is that he's making friends in there. Everyone always says that babies don't make friends until they are 18 months, but I have disagreed after seeing Jack play with the other boys in the infant room. Jack met his little friend Marc in the infant room and they were always together. Marc actually got moved up last month but now they are reunited! On Thursday I received the following note from Ms. Kelly and it just melted my heart. Our little buddy has made his first class friend....

Jack loves to play with his friend Marc. They laugh at each other when they're being silly and Jack likes to lay his head on Marc's shoulder! It's so cute! We'll try to get a picture of it.

Is that precious or what?! I hope they get a photo so I can share it with you all.
