MDO

On Tuesday we went to meet Cason's MDO teacher at the church and she seemed to be just great. She has two kids of her own---one of which just started kindergarten on Monday. I think Cason will just love her. Several of the kids that are going to be in class with him were there with their parents as well and from what I could tell, I think Cason is one of the youngest. A lot of them were 17/18 months old----however, Cason was the biggest child there and Scott was oh so proud--LOL. They originally told us that he would still get to nap in a crib until he turned 18 months old but I guess since most of them were older they decided that they would all start out on nap mats. I can't wait to hear how that goes---I'm quite sure he won't sleep a wink but he could surprise me. He still takes two naps and they only give them one so he may be really tired.

Today was his first day of MDO and I was very nervous about dropping him off. The last month or so I have been attempting to take him to LA Fitness with me and drop him off in the gym day care while I got a quick workout in but it just wasn't going over very well. Out of the SEVERAL times I took him, I only got to workout twice. He would just be too upset and they would have to come and get me.

He did really good though when we dropped him off this morning, he just went right in and was happy to be playing with all the new toys. We couldn't even get a good picture of him and his teacher because he was too interested in getting down and playing. I did good as well (maybe Scott would not agree with me but I think I did)--there were no tears until I exited the building. I'm sure that would have been different if he had been screaming for me but he was fine when we left. Now that I've pulled myself together, I think I will try and go to the gym :)

I can't WAIT to go pick him up and see how he did. It feels so weird being in the house alone---2:00 can't get here fast enough :) I just hope they don't have to call me because he his hitting the other kids! Here are some pics from this morning :)

Oh, and he opened the front door on his own for the first time this morning!!! I guess we will have to keep it locked from now on!

A kiss for mom...

Cason and his teacher...

Little treats for his teachers. I wish I could be as crafty as my friend Wendie but I was just too lazy last night :)

Wendie made these cute treats--aren't they adorable!!!
