Roman is very proud of the fact that he's potty trained. He informed his Daddy of this tonight, while pointing to himself. Of course, we did have a half-accident; he "leaked" a little bit before running to us to say he had to go. He also did #2 on his own tonight with no help.
We gave official notice to daycare this afternoon that Roman would be withdrawn. We talked to the director, who was very supportive. She actually admitted her own son went to the preschool we're transferring to! She said we'd be very pleased with it. Daddy and I want to do something nice for Miss Katie (we gave Miss Elaine a gift when we transitioned out of the Toddler room). I asked Roman what he thought she'd like. "A new necklace," he said, "... or a new train." How sweet and thoughtful. He says it like this - "neck-a-liss." I asked if he'd like to make one for her, like our cousin Sadie made a bracelet for him once. "Oh, yes... but I don't know how," said our very smart boy. So we agreed to go find some beads and string on Saturday morning.
Another example of our moving onward and upward - we got a call from Wendy at our church. She is an illustration of why we like our church so much... if only we went more often! Very friendly, open, and welcoming. Anyway, Wendy is now in charge of staffing the nursery and also "recruiting" kids for Sunday school and what is called Pioneer Club on Wednesday nights. We agreed to 3 Sundays in the nursery (April, June, & August). She then informed us that Roman is old enough to start Sunday school this coming year. We didn't realize they started that early, but she said they are in groups with 4-year-olds to do the rotations and they have a "shepherd" who stays with the group all year so there is consistency among the rotation. We definitely think Roman is ready and comfortable with this idea, so we're going to try it out. This also means going to church mostly every week (and shifting weekend visits to family to Friday-Saturday instead of Saturday-Sunday!). We have been wanting to get more involved and meet the parents of the other kids we pass in the nursery (every six weeks or so, at our current rate of attendance).
Lots of events telling us that Roman is growing older, and growing better. He's practically trained, he's excited about going to a new preschool, and he's old enough to finally join Sunday school. And, he's got a new train bought with some of his money (Diesel-10) and a gift of the REAL Buzz Lightyear (big plastic version) from his Grandpa & Baba today. So life is very, very good.
