a few good things

Owen started at his new day care ("school") when we returned home from Vermont. It's run by the same non-profit, but a different, larger center with all new teachers. Owen is in a room with 2.5 to 4 year olds. We were concerned about the change- he was very attached to a few of his teachers and had begun making some good friends at the Monroe Center. After a rough couple of days, Owen seems to really be enjoying his new school. One of his friends from Monroe, Conner, is with him now, and he has a new favorite teacher.

Owen has been getting pretty good about using the potty now. He's still in diapers, but uses the bathroom a majority of the time both at home and at school. I think underwear will be in his near future.

Owen has a new imaginary friend- it's an alligator without a name. The alligator is somewhat mischievous- trying to get into the fish tank to eat our fish and such. This alligator has yet to bite Owen, but they are careful around each other. Don't know where he came from and how long he's staying with us, but it's amusing in the meantime.
