Avery did great in her new class yesterday. She even napped for an hour and a half on a cot (no more crib). When we were on our way out we passed her old room and a crib was just outside the room, in the hall. She pointed to it and said "Avery's bed" and sure enough it was her old crib (had a label with her name on it). Kind of made me sad. Again. I don't know why. I guess it's because she seems to be growing up so fast.
She comes home with tons of crafts and finger paintings, and after a showcase on the fridge for a month or so, most get thrown in the recycling bag. I do keep some, especially anything with her hand or footprint. Throughout last year she was periodically sent home with these little footprint animals, themed according to the season. I had them all at work, but when I found some super cheap clearance shadowboxes at Target I decided that would be the perfect home for them, along with the name tag from her old cubby.
