First Buggy Ride

James got to take his first ride in the buggy today at school :-) I walked in to pick him up just as they were starting...he looked at me, smiled big, kept biting his fingers and then wanted to keep on moving. One of the support teachers took them around the center and read them some books and they sang songs and played the drums. You can tell he's the smallest in the picture -- three of the other kids are actually in the toddler room above him -- both teachers needed to clean their rooms up and it was easier w/o the kids in the room -- especially crazy mobile James crawling around pounding on his younger, less mobile friend's faces (poor kids, I promise he really likes you, that's why he keeps attacking you, he's just exploring). His teacher also said he's pulling himself up on to his knees very often -- he really liked going over to the window to watch the big kids playing outside. She also said he's taking the books and "reading" them, actually flipping pages and everything. Another first today (not surprising since he started climbing yesterday), he went down the slide by himself -- head first on his belly -- don't worry, he was fine as his teacher caught him before he landed :-) Silly boys -- no fear!
