Moving on Up

Vivian moved up to the toddler room in January. She was very attached to her infant room teachers—Ms. Louise, Ms. Gloria and Ms. ChiChi—and we worried that she might have a rough transition. As it turns out, she was more than ready to graduate. After some initial hesitancy, she was soon eating at the table and sleeping on a cot with the rest of her classmates and loving her new classroom environment (especially the climber). Unlike her brother, Vivian is an excellent eater and seems to like most foods, including vegetables. One day her teachers reported that she had three helpings of diced carrots! Not long after moving up to toddlers, Vivian also started feeding herself with a spoon. It’s amazing what a difference a healthy appetite can make. So far, her only words are “mama,” “dada” and “bye bye,” but she’s been chattering away, so others may soon follow. Well done, Vivi!
