graduation

The time has finally arrived. The time in which Z-Dub will graduate from the Toddler I classroom to the much more advanced Toddler II classroom at his school. He's been visiting the class for several weeks and seems to be fitting in just fine. The school left the decision up to us, and we enthusiastically said "hell yes."

Z-Dub's matriculation into the new class provides a greater variety of activities and at a faster pace. Frankly, we think he's bored in the class with one to two-year-olds and will be more intellectually stimulated in a class with two to three-year-olds. A big bonus is the fact that it's a potty training class. If he sees his classmates peeing and pooping in a potty, he may be more encouraged to try it more himself. No pressure though, of course.

So Friday will be his last day with the little minions. Come Wednesday of next week, he's hangin' with the big boys (and girls).

On a side note, Z-Dub does very well with older kids. Some that are even much older. He looks up to them and copies their more advanced actions. A great example is our trip to Town Square Las Vegas over the weekend. We were on the green listening to a live band when a group of Asian teens came over and started breakdancing. They actually attracted quite a crowd of onlookers admiring their mad acrobatic skills. Z-Dub was completely mesmerize by the group of older kids. So much so that he suddenly darted into the middle of their area, got on his hands and feet and tried to replicate their moves. It was absolutely hilarious. The teens got a kick out of it too.

He has no fear!

Hey, you know what? He should totally do some breakdancing moves on his first day in the new classroom. First impressions are very important.
