Movin’ On Up

That’s right, sweet baby is moving on up…at school that is. Last Monday, Ben started the transition from The Growing Room to Discovery 2 (D2).  And since Ben is a star student, he did the two week transition in one week!  He’s officially a D2 kid this week.  They generally wait until the babies are 1 before they transition, but Ben is a good 6 months older than the other babies and it just wasn’t fair to him.  I’ve been discussing it with the directors for a few weeks and after seeing Ben play with Austin (who moved a few weeks ago), it was a no-brainer.  It’s been a little hard adjusting to the schedule of D2, but we’re managing.  The biggest downside-only 1 nap.  This was tough last week.  We’re making it work and throwing in a little nap when I pick him up.  But he’s really happy and I’m happy he’s with other babies more his age.

Daddy offered to feed Ben.  The picture doesn’t do him justice, but he was a MESS!

 

I was talking to my mom outside and this was my view of Ben looking out the window…

 

 

 

Ben’s two week long cold has developed into a sinus infection, but now we’re on antibiotics.  He stayed home with Daddy today for a little R&R (and video games).  Yesterday I got to celebrate my first Mother’s Day and it was wonderful.  Breakfast, shopping and lunch out (again they were shocked at how Ben can eat).  I am blown away that God chose me to be this little prince’s mom:
