Big Changes...

This has been a traumatic weekend for Tyler- lots of big changes were initiated this weekend in preparation for Tyler's move to the "pre-toddler" room at daycare in one short week. He will be leaving his beloved Joyce after he turns one next Saturday and will be joining Unique and Ebone's room for the next four months (just a short transition period before moving upstairs to the toddler room). Tyler is very excited to be rejoining his best bud Maddie, who's already made the move, and his current best bud Rachael is moving with him!! Yeah for familiar faces and good friends :)

So, in this next phase in Tyler's life formula and pureed foods no longer exist- yikes! So since next weekend is Tyler's first birthday and we'll have lots of family visiting, we went cold-turkey on Tyler's favorites this weekend. No more warm bottles or pureed sweet potatoes. Nope! He's on to cold whole milk and table food... and NOT happy about it! But I'm convinced once he's in with the other big kids and sees how all the other little girls and boys do it he'll be just fine. But in the mean time...

Tyler's first morning up (Saturday) in which he was not greeted with a warm bottle of formula. I came to his crib holding a sippy cup of cold whole milk and he was not having it. Not one bit!




... And the dramatic head and hand toss downwards. SO sad. And furious. But mom and dad held to their decision.



Ohhh... life is so hard now. What ever will he do (besides lose a little weight before moving on)?




He is mildly more content here... but notice very little milk has been drunk. We have a stubborn little boy on our hands! But a smart one. He's concentrating very hard on getting the spoon motion down, but with little success. All in good time...

Getting ready to paint a picture for Miss Joyce to give her on our last day this coming Friday.

Mom thought making a mess would cheer him up and distract him from his lack of a bottle, but it didn't work very well. We're going to give it a little time... this too shall pass :)
