Yesterday was the daycare’s annual pizza party.  Stuart picked up the pizza for us, and arrived at school at the start of the party.  I had to leave work early and got there shortly after.  All the students stayed in their own classrooms; the teachers helped the kids situated and started the feast.  We were in Logan’s room first, and he was beaming to have us there watching him eat.  Logan wanted me to stay with him while Stuart went to visit Connor.  The rest of the kids were still munching on pizza, but Logan was ready to go out to the courtyard after eating just one slice.  While Logan was playing at the playground, I went to check on Connor as well.  Connor was so happy sitting and eating pizza along with his friends.  He asked me to sit with him, so Stuart stepped out to see Logan.  Connor had a good appetite; after eating a big bowl of cut up pizza, he wanted to try some salad and ended up eating many bites of it.  He was dancing with the music while I fed him the salad.  He was a happy one!  I finally convinced him to go out to the courtyard to join in with Logan.  Both of them had fun playing at the big kids playground, but after being there for awhile and Connor dodging some big kids, we decided to move on to the toddlers playground instead.  Logan’s buddy Rohan came and joined us there too.  We socialized a bit with some parents while the kids played until the end of the party..

     While we were in the courtyard, I got a chance to talk with one of Logan’s main teachers.  She reported that Logan had made a significant change since our parent-teacher conference in November.  He is more willing to participate in group activities, especially if he is being paired up with one of his buddies.  He seems a lot more active, and he enjoys playing tag with his friends.  He also has become more capable of doing some self care.  The teacher was happy to report the changes, and I was definitely glad to hear about that too.
