Well, I have been a bad mother and have not been keeping up with my posting on Alex’s web site. \u00a0Nor have I been taking as many pictures as I used to do. \u00a0I have to admit that this school year is keeping me much busier than the past couple of school years have done.<\/p>\n

Alex has not only been surviving day care – he has been thriving. \u00a0It took 11 days of him crying and throwing a fit every morning when I dropped him off, and then on the 12th day, he turned around, waved at me, and said, “bye-bye.” \u00a0Since that twelfth day, he has whined occasionally when dropped off, but mostly he just starts playing with the lady who is there for early morning drop-offs.<\/p>\n

When I go to pick Alex up in the afternoons, he has to run around and hug his teacher, the morning lady, and both managers before he’ll let me take him home. \u00a0I would definitely say he is enjoying himself.<\/p>\n

And, he is also learning. \u00a0After only being in daycare for a month, he can already recognize and name a few of his letters. \u00a0The only thing I am worried about is that he is losing his sign language. \u00a0I knew it would happen, but it still makes me sad. \u00a0I also thought that when he started losing his sign, he would start talking more, but he really hasn’t picked up many new words lately. \u00a0His pediatrician said that by the time he is two years old, he should be speaking 200 words. \u00a0That seems crazy to me! \u00a0He just turned 20 months, and he still doesn’t have much more than 27 words. \u00a0He better start speaking in a hurry if he is going to make 200 in the next 4 months!<\/p>\n

Since I haven’t taken many pictures lately, I thought you might enjoy seeing some of the artwork Alex has been making at daycare. \u00a0More pictures soon!<\/p>\n
