Movin' On

I know I just posted yesterday, but I forgot a few things and also have an update. Update first. We had our tour of the Montessori school scheduled for this morning. They had offered to have the kids come too to see how they interacted, but we weren't planning on it. At about 8:45 am, Ahmad got a call to come pick up Miles. He had hit another kid and then kicked the teacher. Ahmad picked him up and didn't say anything. Miles came home and sat in timeout until it was time for the tour (10am). Ahmad just told him to get ready to go, but didn't tell him where they were going. So, he had no idea what was going on. We did the tour and they worked with Miles on a few things and Miles was so excited. We were feeling pretty good about the school and thought it might be a good fit for Miles. At the end of the tour, he asked the lady if he could go back in the room. She suggested he stay the rest of the day! He said he wanted to, so after a quick bite, Ahmad took him back to stay the rest of the day. When Ahmad picked him up, he asked Miles how it went. Miles said "I had a good day at my new school today dad. The teachers helped me have a good day. I should go there all the time." What could we say?! And we never talked to him about changing schools or anything. To make the rest of the story short, he's starting tomorrow! We just couldn't send him back to where he was after that. It's just not fair. Daycare is frustrated, we are frustrated and it's not fair to Miles to keep him in that situation. We've simply outgrown them; our needs have changed and it's time to move on. And Hailey will start on Monday. :) We are so excited for him and to see what he does there and how it goes!

Ok, now for the things I forgot I wanted to write about. I love when Hailey wraps her little arms around my neck and hugs me so tight that she shakes. We have gotten reports that at school, Hailey doesn't like others in her space. Hmmm, I wonder why?! (Miles is always in her space!) She also is so cute when it's time for bed. I'll tell her to go say goodnight to daddy and she'll walk over and lean in to him for him to kiss her cheek or head. She does the same with Miles. The other thing is not so sweet, but comes with the territory! She's begun throwing tantrums. She'll scream or throw something, or bat at something/someone if she gets upset. And she'll scoot around on her bottom to get by herself. Luckily, it's pretty short term and soon she's ready to be picked up and cuddled, but she's definitely learning some independence!
