It's Not Easy Being a Toddler

Emily has almost made it through her first full week in the toddler room.  It's been a bit of a rough transition.  Much harder than I expected!  She still cries when I drop her off, although they said today she only fussed for a little bit this morning and overall had a much better day.  Thank goodness!  It's been so hard for me to leave her when she's crying in the morning.  Since Monday, she has just been exhausted.  Apparently, so tired that she's been falling asleep at school.  They get a 2 hour nap after lunch, but I guess Emily just can't make it until then.  My poor girl. . .they even sent pictures to Shawn and I today.


We're working on transitioning Emily from a bottle to a sippy cup and from formula to whole milk.  On Monday, we tried to get rid of the bottle and formula all together, but after waking up a few times, we decided she wasn't quite ready, so she still gets a bottle of formula before bed.  Other than that, it's whole milk in her sippy cup.   I think it was just too many changes at once.  She's not a big fan of the milk, but we're working on it.  She'll take a couple of sips right now and that's about it.  Let's just say, it's been a long week and we're all ready for the weekend!
