Big week for our little family

Big changes this past week- Gabe moved from a sitter to a preschool and he gave up his paci! Can someone say big boy!

David and I have agonized over the decision to move Gabe for over a year now. We absolutely loved his sitter, but she lived more than 20 miles out of the way. We would each spend an extra 45 minutes each day either dropping him off or picking him up. After doing lots of research we decided on a school only 1/4 mile from David's office. We were worried about how Gabe would adjust, but he has done so well! David and I are so happy and relieved! But we do need to work on him feeding himself- hence the picture below- apparently all of the kids in his class can feed themselves and drink from a (real) cup. Yikes!

And we are now a paci free household. For months now, we would leave his paci in his crib and he only got it at nap/ bedtime. He has never asked for it so taking it away wasn't hard at all.


David and I are so proud of our little man!
