Young Toddler

Korri has transitioned into the Young Toddler room at daycare. As it seems most thing do with her, it kind of just happened. She started by going over there for an hour each day, then it seemed she was over there all day except nap time and then this week, she started taking naps over there, too. This is something I was worried about because they sleep on cots instead of cribs…but no worries. Her teacher did say she is always the first one up, though…my little non-napper! Now we drop her off and pick her up over there and next week, she will be officially a Young Toddler. My baby is growing up. And she LOVES this room. When I would drop her off in the Infant Room, she would always cry and a teacher would need to come and hold her so I could leave (I’m sure it lasted all of a minute once I left, but still!). Today when I dropped her off in the YT room, she was like, “Bye, bye, momma!” and with a wave, was off to find some toys (when I peeked in after I dropped Finn of, she was riding a rocking horse!). Jim said she gave a little wave on Monday when he dropped her off, too. It makes me feel so good and I really like the teacher in that room (although I really liked her main teacher in the Infant room, too). I just feel like she is getting more age appropriate stimulation and socialization than in the infant room. Now if we can just keep these kiddos healthy and get Finn to stop peeing on himself while there, I’ll be completely on board with this whole daycare thing.


Update on walking: Korri is doing great. She now wants to be put down on her feet instead of her butt if you were holding her. She does what we call “setting up” exercises where she stands, moves into a squat and back to standing. She does it over and over. She even does great walking on the uneven grass outside. I think she gets a little tired, though because we were walking to meet daddy and Finn one night and she walked about 1/3 of a block, and then stopped and absolutely wanted to be picked up. Her poor little legs aren’t used to all this work!
