A big week at KidTech!

This week was the last week Jake will be in the infant class at KidTech.  :(  As small and insignificant as somthing like that may seem to some, it has been a monumental week for us filled with mixed emotions.  We absolutely love Jakes current teachers Ms Bonnie and Ms Theresa and Ms Kim (she was his teacher at the beginning but moved across the hallway).  They are wonderful and have grown to be a part of our family.  I can tell when I drop Jake off and pick him up that he is happy and comfortable with them. 

I know in my heart that it is time for him to move up to the toddlers class...he has been walking for a month and is getting pretty steady on his feet.  I remember being a little nervous about the bigger kids in the class when Jake first started "school" and he wasnt big enough to roll over or crawl.  He has been going to the toddlers class on and off for lunch, naptime, and some playtime for the last two months and from what I hear he is doing great.  He'll still get to see many of the same faces, Ms Debbie the cook, Ms Velvet, Ms. Ashley, and many others.  He loves the new and more exciting toys in the toddler room, and he loves the Tods 1 teacher, Ms Heather.

So you might be thinking why wouldn't I want him to move?  He will have cooler toys, big kid interaction, and he loves the teacher....what more could you want right?  Well once he moves up then I think I'll personally have to come to terms with the fact that my baby boy is growing up...FAST!  No more bottles at school, running around barefoot like a wild baby, or rocking to sleep.  Like I said I know this is much harder on me than it is on Jake.  I will rest assured though that we will still have bottles and rocking time at home for a little while longer.  :)

When I dropped him off this morning I just didn't want to leave and it was all I could do not to start bawling before I left, although I did shed a few tears.  I know we'll still stop by in the afternoons to talk with Ms Bonnie, but it is just different.

Luckily, next week will be our first beach vacation, so hopefully that will keep my mind off the upcoming move at school!
