Our little girl in the 2 year old room

Last Tues Jeff and I received this letter from daycare:

Jeff & Robin - As I am am sure you are aware, little Miss Bella has taken to biting her friends occasionally. While this behavior certainly is not abnormal at this age, the number of bites/attempts is slightly excessive.
After speaking with Brittany and Amanda, we think Bella might be out-growing the Young Toddler Room. We have several younger kiddos in there now and I think she just might be getting bored with the daily routine. Therefore, we would like to begin to transition Bella to the older classroom. Madison and Madeliene just moved over recently, and we think Bella will adjust fine. We would like to work on transitioning her immediately with the hopes of making her move permanent within the next few weeks. However, if she seems to take to her new room with no problems we will make the switch sooner.
Please let me know your thoughts and we can go from there.

I have to admit I hadn't even started to prepare myself for Isabella's move to the next room, I didn't think it would probably happen until January.

So, last week she spent some time in the 2 year old room and as of last Friday she is a permanent resident! It sounds like she's been doing pretty well and we haven't seen any bite notifications lately (like she would really bite these older kids!) Anyhow, I do think it will be a good move for her, even though I would have to assume the move is more about the classroom sizes/numbers than anything else.

When I dropped her off last Friday and they were feeding her breakfast they brought her milk over in a little dixie cup. I was like "hmmm, I don't know how she'll handle that..." and they were just like "We'll see". Whenever I've given her a cup without a lid, she's basically just poured it all over her face. Also, I guess they set her on the potty chair when they change her diaper and as far as I can tell she's showed zero signs of being ready for potty training, so let's hope this doesn't backfire.
