Last Days of One

Oliver turns two on the 28th. We've been working for a while on his answer to the question "How old are you?"

"One!"

So now we'll have to do some new training. In the meantime, he's speaking in full, if challenging, sentences. We're having so much fun with him!

I took this picture a couple days ago when I picked Oliver up from daycare. He seems to be the only kid in the room, but there were several others. Here's the gang that gathered around me when I came into the room.

Oliver is about to transition from the "Wobbler" room to the toddler room, where he'll hang out with 2 and 3 year olds. He spends a couple hours in that room each day. The great thing is that, as Jenny and I are working on the potty training at home (not much progress yet other than some useful vocabulary), the daycare will reinforce the lessons. They have a bathroom right next to the toddler room for just that. Won't that be great!

Oliver is really into his blocks and we have a great time building houses and choo-choos with them. Sometimes, he'll just spend a long time, quiet and absorbed, sorting them by color and shape, or building little structures like this:
