Our Big Girl

So Kendall is now in the two year old room at daycare. After having to sign like the 15th incident report for someone biting her, we decided enough was enough! We talked to the administration and near the end of the 30 minute long conversation in which it became somewhat evident that they wouldn't be evicting the other children. Don't get me wrong, I do feel for the parents on the other side of this. How do you stop a small child - who can't yet communicate or fully even comprehend that biting is bad.

Near the end of the conversation, we asked about what would be the end all be all. In that vain we asked about whether we could move Kendall or the biters (there are two) to rectify the situation. They then asked about whether we thought she was ready for a move. We agreed that intellectually we thought she was, but that socialy she may not be. They agreed to evaluate her and after a successful dry run in the 2 year old room, we learned that she will be moved permanently. So far, so good. She is doing a great job. The reports are good and she is learning a lot. They have a 'letter of the day' and do lots of art projects, singing, and reading.
