J & I both dropped L off today, we stayed for 10 minutes and then left. Our leaving today did bring a few tears. L's teacher, E, brought him over to the guinea pigs where we was quickly distracted. Also, R, a fellow classmate, who can best be described as a UN monitor, peacekeeper, and ambassador, all rolled into one, came immediately over to Logan to help him through his tears. She rubbed his back and then bent over to give him a kiss; she is a mature, older woman; probably at least 2 1/2. Logan greeted this advance with a completely open mouth and bent forward to receive it. Thank goodness for the two-way mirror that we got to spy through and catch that sweet moment. She then put her arm around him and all three of them walked through the classroom together. Very sweet!
Later, when we came to pick Logan up, the entire class was in the gym (it is below 0 right now in MI and they won't bring the kids out unless it is above 25). We waited there for almost 10 minutes before Logan looked up from his busying playing to notice that we were there. When we got there, he was busy at "work," pushing around a kid-sized vacuum cleaner. Everyone was very impressed with how well he has adjusted to the school setting, even the other toddler teacher came up to us and said how well L was doing, particularly for how young he is.
Other newsworthy notes: L is beginning to string words together now in earnest. Yesterday he said as we were going upstairs to bed "Go go nigh nigh" and while we were watching his favorite Wegman dog DVD at the part where the dog is asleep and dreaming of being a deer (for the letter D), Logan said "dog dog nigh nigh". Exciting times!
