Speaking of Turner

Aside from his doctor's appointment, Turner had a pretty big week.

Monday he dropped by Hazel's preschool for the morning. He goes there, usually a couple times a month, when Mom has to go someplace without us in tow.

Mom was in a for a surprise when she picked him up - he was in a new classroom! Since he turned 18 months old and is walking, he gets to move up a class, and will face some pretty big changes.

The first change Turner experienced is that his new class goes outside to play in the morning. His teachers said he really liked it, which we knew because he really likes going to the playground with us. His favorite thing to do is scoop rocks into his bucket with a shovel.

Turner wasn't there long enough Monday to experience it, but in his new classroom, kids sit at a little picnic table for lunch instead of high chairs. Also, when they take a nap, they nap on mats on the floor instead of little cribs. We think Turner's up for the challenge.

At home yesterday, Turner earned his first skinned knee when we were playing outside in our backyard. He handled it like a pro. Mom saw him trip but he got right up and kept on running, so she didn't even realize he'd skinned his knee until we came inside. Turner's tough!
