Well, this past week, Chloe officially transferred up to the pre-school. It’s hard to believe. She is still so small! But, she is very verbal and has handled the transition extremely well. She is already so used to playing with bigger kids — thanks to Cameron and Dylan — that the transition actually seemed natural…add in the fact that Cameron seriously adores her and so easily and joyfully takes care of her, and you can see how Chloe could be just fine up there! The ladies at the school tell me they are so proud of Cameron. She is so sweet and so helpful with Chloe. She helps Chloe out and also lets them know if Chloe needs or wants a diaper change! We are proud of her, too.
The transition was quick — the staff started bringing her up after nap time about 2 weeks before they moved her up for good! And, already, she has tried peeing in the potty (according to Cameron, she sat on the potty twice on her first full day! For the past few days, she has been sitting on her potty at home with, so far, one successfull little dribble rewarded with a stamp on her potty chart!).
Now, Chloe and Cameron are singing the same songs….The one in the picture above is a song that ends with “don’t let Chloe…FALL DOWN!” and both girls giggling and Chloe asking for more. Cameron is always so sweet about complying. When Chloe asks for something, Cameron is so sweet about getting it for her, or doing whatever Chloe is demanding of her (getting under the blanket, closing up the space in the blanket, etc. etc). It’s very sweet! I hope their friendship and bond will always be strong!
