I know that it is hard to believe but Ryan has graduated from his daycare. He is no longer in the infant center and has moved up to the toddler age group. For Coho, Ryan was the first graduate ever. In case you don’t know UBC has many daycare centers and Coho was a brand new center that they just finished building when Ryan started.
Ryan made a lot of great friends. Here is a photo from his last day. There were 4 kids missing from the photo (Riley Maru, Audrey, Zoe, Annouk)
When I showed this picture to Ryan he was able to correctly identify all of his friends by name. He really does know them quite well and will miss them very much. At the end of the day today, Ryan made sure to give all of the girls a kiss on the lips and when he kissed the boys – he stayed about a foot away from their lips!

Ryan will really miss his caregivers. We were able to get a picture of Ryan with each of them except Noella (I’ll update this when we get a photo of her).

Ryan starts his gradual entry at Canada Goose (his new daycare center) tomorrow. He has already met a lot of his new buddies and really likes it there. Each time he has stopped by to visit he cried when we had to leave. We also think that a few of Ryan’s friends might be able to join him at Canada Goose in a few months. We will keep our fingers crossed.
As a parting gift the staff at Coho gave Ryan and photo album of the fun things that he did in his seven months at Coho. Here it is – check it out, it is very sweet! If you want to see the photos up closer, or if you want to read what they wrote, I suggest you check out the pdf version here.
