Last Monday, Alicia started her new preschool class at her daycare. It was a big change for her switching and moving on up to this new class, as several of her close friends from daycare we no longer joining her in her class. I think she did a great job transitioning though, as she appeared to really like her new teachers, Karen and Sadia. As mentioned above, her partners in crime from her old daycare room, Carl and Lucas, are not in her new room. It was a bit concerning at first, as we new she has had a good bond with them, and opens up and communicates with them well. But more and more as we talked about it, we knew that this is something that Alicia will eventually have to do and learn to handle change and be able to make new friends. This is a big milestone for her as she learns to meet new kids and start new friendships. While keep in mind, Alicia still gets to visit with Lucas and Carl on the weekends and even on the playground when the 2 preschool rooms share the outside time! You can see in one of the pictures below, she found her buddies the first day on the playground teeter-totter. So happy and sad feelings surround the new transition, but so far things are going well. Wish Alicia well in her new preschool room!

It is sad when things change for your child, but life is full of new beginnings. Give her a couple weeks and she'll have a bunch of new best friends. :) Katie starts kindergarten next week at a new school where none of her old preschool classmates are going. It's scary, but exciting!
