Last day as a Duckling

Owen's daycare transitions kids to the next class at the start of the new school year. So Thursday, August 19, was his last day in the infant room with teachers we have loved over the last year. And last Monday was his first day in a toddler class with new teachers who I hope will be just as good for Owen this year. Most of the kids from his infant class are in his class this year so at least that part of his day will feel normal. I was nervous about the transition and sad to leave his old teachers in the Duckling room, but Owen seemed to have a great week in his new Honey Bear classroom.

A year ago when Owen started daycare we were still swaddling him for sleep, he had just barely rolled over for the first time, and he was very much our little baby. Now he's more boy than baby. What a great year it's been!

This was the morning of his last day as a Duckling. He's wearing his class t-shirt with the hand prints of all of the other kids in his class.





Owen's school was closed Friday while the teachers transitioned classrooms for the new year so Owen spent the day with Opa and Nana. Apparently Owen refused to let Opa jam his foot into his too small shoes and he looked like a sausage squeezed into his old PJs. He seems to have outgrown everything at the same time so mom and I took him shopping on Saturday. And on Saturday night, Owen got a new haircut. What a big boy.

Hair before pics.




Haircut at Nana's salon. His thin blond hair was getting long and wispy around his face so mom just cleaned it up a little. Handsome boy.
