Infant Level: Passed
Jonah's teachers told us today that he is ready to graduate! They have to keep him with infants until he turns 1, but then he'll be moving on to the toddler room. (We were originally told the transition would occur at 15mo.) While we like to think that our son is so far ahead of the curve that he is graduating early, some part of us wonders if the infant teachers are just eager to get rid of him! It is quite possible he is terrorizing the smaller babies. From what I've seen of him at playgroup and at family gatherings, Jonah isn't shy about taking his turn climbing a slide, even if another (older) child is already climbing up. In one story we heard from his teachers, Jonah enjoyed going around the room and waking up the sleeping babies. (These things are never put into the written record!) Today, his daily report read that Jonah "enjoyed playing with his friends and then running away with toys in his hands." Regardless of the reason, it is exciting that he is ready for the toddler room. He will have to adjust to a rigorous schedule, but I think he will enjoy the new toys and older kids to play with!
