London is offically a "toddler" - First day in her toddler class

As I've mentioned in previous posts, London has outgrown her time in the baby room at her preschool.  Over the last couple of weeks before Christmas, she spent some time in her new class getting used to the kids, the routine and toys there so she could start Jan. 4 full time.  Ian and I both went to drop her off.  As we were walking down the hall her favorite teacher from the baby room was in the hallway and London got to give her hugs before going to her new class!  It was really sweet.  So we ventured in to the new class.

We walked in and set London down.  There were two little girls in the class that day.  They were both close to 2yrs old.  London walked up and said "Hi!", then turned and started playing with the toys.

We set her lunch down in her cubby and then we just stood there.  Now what?  She was playing and having a good time and we weren't sure what to do next.  So after a couple of minutes of just standing there, we thought it was time to go.  She's so grown up.

When Ian picked her up that day, her teacher said London did amazing!  She picked right up on all the new routines!  The kids in the toddler class all sit at the same table for their meals.  They take naps on mats on the floor all at the same time.  She was such a big girl and followed along so seamlessly!

After just a few days of being in her new class, London is already growing up so fast.  She's running through the house, talking, singing, and just growing up before our eyes.  It's so crazy to see how much of a difference it makes being around kids older than her, challenging her daily.
