Charles seems to be doing well in his new room. He cried the first day I dropped him off, but yesterday and today he was just in stunned bunny mode, which is how he normally was in the toddler room (even on days when the teachers commented on what a happy boy he had been). Mom says that Charles has been happy boy every time she’s picked him up. Today, Charles was eager to go. He had been quite the double bumper grumper boy. After I managed to wrestle some clothes on him, he saw his shoes and perked up, poking them with his finger and saying “dat!”. So I shod him, at which point he went over to get his coat (which Mom had left in the car). When it wasn’t there, he dragged me through the house upstairs where his light jacket was hanging on the changing table. I didn’t let him wear that (although it probably would have been ok) and made him wait while I fetched his coat from the car. We put it on and I had to strap him in before I gathered up my stuff because he was so insistent on going.
