Unlike the Baby room, the Monkey room has no cribs. The kids sleep on cots and sit in little chairs. Sydney actually took a 1hr nap on a cot today and stayed on her cot even after she woke up while the other kids were sleeping.

Teacher Comments:
* Sydney did great for her first day visiting the monkey room! She was laughing and playing with her new friends. Sydney H came over as well so that she wasn't alone! Miss Valerie was with her for the first day as well. Sydney loved story time and was laughing during the story. Sydney will be needing three sippy cups during the day. If you would like we have sippy cups available for use in our room so you wouldn't have to bring any sippy cups from home. We do take the children out two times a day so can you please have snow pants, boots, hat, gloves for Sydney each day. Those items may stay at school.
We are so excited for Sydney to be joining our class!
