We've done it! Our first week in team III has successfully been completed. As it always seems to happen, the anticipation and anxiety about the change was far greater than the change itself. Moving into team III meant full days (9-3) and no more napping at home). They do have a short 'rest' time on cots at school, but his teachers Patti and Carol have said that the kids aren't napping. They are optimistic that they might nap once the novelty wears off, but for now Isaac is coming home fairly tired. He makes it till about dinner time and then is exhausted. If there is a positive he is going to bed an hour earlier and getting up an hour later, and seems to still want to nap on weekends.
The new schedule has really changed my day and the chunks of time I have to work. I am going to begin having our babysitter pick up Isaac three times a week so that I can get a little extra work done, and we are going to start doing activities together in the afternoon (gymnastics, karate, and basketball).
This change seems good. He seems ready, and now that it is here I think it is exciting and positive. It makes the time that I do get to spend with him more focused and appreciated, and weekends have become all that more delicious.
