Riley Big Boy!

So....Riley ended up moving up 1 class at school It wasn't as bad as I initially thought - previously Sloan has only EVER had 1 2 year old class, so when they said he was moving up - I thought they meant to the 3 yr old class, but it turns out - they actually  have 3 2 yr old classes this year. So Riley is in the middle one, the teacher says it's obvious he's the youngest one and the newest to "group care", but he hasn't had one episode of "aggressive behavior" under her watch. Things that make you go Hmmmm...... I'm just sayin' it seemed like a habitual problem with the other teacher. To be honest, I was ready for him to be out of her class b/c I felt like she was watching him like a hawk just waiting for him to do anything.

And I can tell a difference in him too. When we're driving to school, we talk about his day and when I ask if he's excited to see Ms. Dina (his new teacher) he adamantly shakes his head yes. Where he used to just be indifferent when I asked that about the other teacher. Ms. Dina is definitely someone that's good with kids. She has grown kids and grandkids, so she's the perfect candidate for a crazy 2 yr old class! I cannot imagine that being my job all day long! Bless these teachers for their calling!!

So Ms. Dina calls Riley - Riley Big Boy - because even though he's the youngest by around 6 months - he's still the biggest in the class! So the other morning, I went to drop him off and all the little kids said "Hi Riley Big Boy"! It was so cute!! And he just waved and said "Hi" back!

He's growing up so fast!! It makes me sad!!!! But it's so rewarding to see him blossom into his own little personality! He's definitely NOT shy! I think he spoke to EVERY person we passed in the grocery store tonight! Cracks me up! He literally says "Hiiiii" and "Byeeee"to every person we meet, every car we pass, anything!
