First Day of Preschool

Here's the man himself, ready to go. He did not want to stop and get his photo taken, hence the slight disheveledness of his uniform etc. And that smile is his "smile for the camera" smile.

Preschool!

Today E had his first settling-in day at the preschool around the corner. It takes us about 5 minutes to walk there. B was able to go into work late and come with us and chat with E's teachers and the aides. The nursery is well equipped with a nice outside space that incorporates trees, a big playhouse, grass, a platform for imaginative play, and lots of toys to play on. The inside space is pretty good too. It was funny seeing the boys gravitate toward the airplanes and firehouse and the girls going for the kitchen/play food area.

There was also a little area where the kids could pour themselves a drink of water and have some fruit to eat (today was pear). And several tables with arts and crafts and playdough, and a reading area, and the bathrooms were nicely equipped with lots of soap and even an easel in the middle with pens and paints.

E will be going 5 mornings per week and he is so excited. He will be one of the youngest in the year (if not THE youngest).

C is 9 months tomorrow and crawling all over and pulling herself up to standing on stable objects. Sleep issues abound, but we are coping.

Next week I will have pics of E in his uniform but for now all I've got is a funny pic of C in her bath....

Will do my best to make more time to post next week!
