Taylor Family Values: August 2011

We decided to enroll Sienna and Colton in the Mother's Day Out Program at Oak Hill United Methodist Church after a good friend highly recommended it! Last year, Sienna got to be a peer mentor at Dawson Elementary (where I used to teach) for one of the PPCD classes. It was such a great experience for her and she learned a lot! But this year, we wanted to get Colton into a class too, so the Mother's Day Out Program seemed like the best fit. Sienna pretty much loves everything about school so we were not worried about her first week. Colton, on the other hand, had us a little bit concerned. It would be his first time in a school setting and we were hoping it wouldn't be a difficult transition! We had told him that he would be going to school like Sienna, but he just turned 2, so we were not sure if he fully understood the magnitude of the situation! Needless to say, the first week was great! Sienna settled right into the routine of her new classroom with Ms. Becca. And while Colton did cry a little when I dropped him off, Ms. Jennifer later assured me that he only cried for a few minutes. After that, he got over it and joined his class for all of the fun activities they had planned for them! I am so proud of my two kiddos and am looking forward to the rest of the school year!
