And the accommodation begins ...

Truman is scheduled to start Parent's Day Out in about six weeks. He'll be attending Wednesdays for about half a day. Although based on age, he should be in the two-year-old class, we enrolled him in the older toddler class because we thought that would be a better fit at this point. He'll be 25 months; the class is for 18-24 months.

We received a letter last week all about the program, supplies, etc. It stated that kids in his class have to have only finger foods. Well, clearly that's a problem. So, I talked to the program director this morning. I had to fight to keep him in the older toddler (as opposed to the 10-18 month) class. We worked out a solution where he will bring his own crunchies for snack time, and he will leave for the day during lunchtime. Lunchtime starts at 11:45. Truman will leave around noon, which will give him some time to watch other kids eat for some peer modeling, but Ben will pick him up and give him a full meal at home. The rest of the kids stay until 2 p.m.

Truman will also miss the naptime with the other kids. I don't think that's a huge loss because can you imagine our non-sleep-trained child being asked to take a nap on a mat on the floor without throwing up on someone or running around like a little banshee. That's actually quite hilarious.
