Toddler to Twaddler

So Mr. Alec made the big transition at school... he moved from "Toddler" room to "Twaddler". I don't really know where the name Twaddler came from but I think it has been a great move for him. He has two buddies RJ and Nate, everything revolves around these two, when he plays with the phone he is always calling one or the other. They have moved up with him. It is so cute to hear their little voices say "Me go Twaddler" they just love the room. Essentially, Toddler is for the kids just learning to walk while Twaddler is for those running and needing more stimulation/watching. It is amazing to see what a difference there actually is in the kids at this level.

With Twaddler room came an unexpected surprise... the abandonment of the binky a.k.a. the pacifier. Whenever he thought he might get left in Toddler and not taken to Twaddler he would immediately give it up. So this weekend when he "lost" it in the middle of the night while sleeping it didn't really bother him. On my way back to Detroit from Cleveland I sent Jon and Grandma on a mission to collect all the binkys. Three in my glove compartment, one hidden in a dresser, one in Jon's car, two in a kitchen cupboard... and now he is a officially binky free today will be day 3! He is being great about it and didn't even try to steal Lyla's during Evan's party. We have such a big boy!
