Transition

Our baby is no longer a baby. It's official.

She is being transitioned into "Toddler 1" at daycare. This means that she will have a set napping schedule, she will nap on a cot rather than in a crib, she will have scheduled "outside time" on the playground, she will eat at a table, in a little chair with a fork and spoon. It also means that she'll have new teachers, a new room full of bunches of new toys and activities and her friends. Recently, all the kids her age are being moved - it'll be nice for her to be in a room of kids 12-24 months.

To that end, Kelly and I have begun talks of transitioning her at home into a toddler bed. And killing her use of the binky. As it is now, she only uses it when she is going to bed. She only has formula right before bed.

Within the next two months, she will be broken completely from the binky, will no longer drink formula and will have learned how to use a cup (no more sippy cups), and will either have been moved or will be close to moving into a toddler bed at home.

Dear god. That's a toddler.
