Chickadees

It's hard to believe, but it's almost time for the boys to move to the next room at daycare!

They have been visiting the Chickadees room over the past week.  They will be moving there permanently after the Labor Day weekend.

As has been the case in the past, I'm a bit worried about how Lincoln is going to adjust.  They have told us that he has cried when they first take him to visit Chickadees, but then settles in.  He is a lot like his dad - not so sure about change.  Plus, he loves his "Miss Kayla", so it's going to be difficult leaving her behind.  Even yesterday at home, he was saying he doesn't want to go to Chickadees. 

Jackson however loves Chickadees.  It's a new area with different toys and activities.  He loves exploring and learning new things.  The teachers tell us the boys behave better than most of the kids already in there - I hope that continues.

This move will be quite an adjustment for Brian and I as well.  Currently, we pull to the back entrance of the building.  We get out, get the boys out of their seats, and take them into their classroom.  That changes with this next move.  We will now pull up to the front entrance, one of the caregivers will come out and get the boys out of their seats, and take them into the building.  They do the same when we come pick them up - they bring them out, put them back in their seats, and we are off.  This will definitely save us time for drop offs and pick ups, but means that goodbyes kisses will happen only at home.

Of course, we are going to be on vacation the week of August 27th, and they will officially tranistion to Chickadees the next week, so it will be a whole lot of adjusting all at once. 

Please keep us in your prayers, and wish us luck!
