Kirby went back to daycare in February and he's been doing really well. Dropping him off in the morning still sucks, but he only cries for about a minute before he's off playing. This week he transitioned into Toddler 2 (18 months - 2 years). Apparently, they start to speak more once they get in that room b/c they're around older kids. Kirby still doesn't say much, but lately he has been saying more words that we understand ("ma mo" = lawnmower).
Health-wise - Kirby's doing well. He got sick a lot when he first went back to daycare, but that's not too surprising. In March he was tested for allergies and it came back that he's definitely allergic to peanuts and possibly eggs, so for right now we're avoiding all tree nuts and low heat eggs (scrambled eggs, french toast, etc). We question whether he's allergic to high heat eggs (cookies, cakes, etc) b/c he's eaten things at daycare without having a negative reaction so we have an appt in July to test high heat eggs. I'll make a souffle and he'll eat small bites of it at the dr office to see how he reacts. For peanuts, we're avoiding nuts until he's tested again next March. We're hoping that the levels are lower, which may possibly mean that he's going to outgrow the allergy. *fingers crossed*
Developmentally, he's right on track. He's running around, great with his hands, and super smart (in my opinion, of course). He's still a super sweet kid, but toddler tantrums have started to rear its ugly head. We're coping ok so far, but I may need to read up on how to raise a singleton without making him spoiled. ;) Like most kids, he's happy to be outside exploring and he's really into firetrucks. It's been quite an interesting experience to be his mama, but I'm enjoying every minute of it.
