Transitions

Penelope seems to be a pretty resilient and/or "go with the flow" kind of girl so far (hope I am not jinxing things by saying this out loud). In early January she dealt with a lot of change. In the same three-day window, we moved her to a new bedroom, with a new bed (still a crib), and she also started a new classroom at daycare. That's right, Penelope is officially a Panda (that's what they call the 2's room). She is taking everything in stride, while her mom & dad seem to be slightly amazed at the differences in this new class room. For example, the Pandas have "show & tell" every Friday (apparently it helps the kids develop their verbal skills, as they stand up to talk to their classmates about their object). The also have jobs. One day you may be the "napkin passer" and the next you could be the "bell ringer" (truth be told, I don't even know what the bell ringer job entails, but Penelope had that as her job her first day in the classroom, and apparently she handled it just fine). There are other differences too, most of which are slipping my mind right now; but in general I will say that it is exciting and kind of amazing to see how far she is coming how fast.
