Last week, Jennifer and Nicholas began searching for a new daycare program because we don't think Nick is being challenged enough where he is. We've recently noticed him exhibiting "baby-like" behavior and we're also disappointed with the amount of baby television shows they watch at his daycare center.
Jen had her eyes on an "after school" program called Fast Track that meets only one day a week for 2 hours. Although Jen was told that they began accepting kids at 3 1/2 years of age, after meeting Nick and putting him through a short test a couple of weeks ago, they said they'd make an exception for Nicholas (2 years 2 months old). Last week, Nicholas was invited for a free session to see how well he fit in and he did wonderfully. In a room of 4, 5, and 6 year olds, Nicholas was able to sit patiently, listen to and then answer questions about different stories and videos, and he even participated in a role-playing exercise.
For those who have not seen or heard Nicholas in person lately, you would not believe you were talking to a 2 year old. He speaks so well that except for an occasional word that he may have trouble pronouncing, he is really able to have adult conversations and is able to retain and process information and facts.
We're not sure what we'll be doing yet, but as always, we'll keep you posted.
Pete
