Grown up boys

Our little guys had a big day today:  the first day of School!  (OK, it's daycare, but we call it school.)  It's just a few blocks away.  Arram is in the Baby room, and Amiri is in the Toddler room.  He will be moved over to Preschool as soon as a slot opens up: since he's potty trained and will be 3 very soon, he's ready to advance.

Daddy dropped them off this morning and they seemed happy to arrive.  The school has a kitchen and a chef, and the kids are served three vegetarian meals a day:  morning tea, lunch, and afternoon tea (breakfast and dinner are at home).  Today they had apricot scones, green beans and soy burger, and mixed fruit.

We worried about them all day, of course.  But when I picked them up after work, they were both as happy as can be:  Amiri was climbing a tower outside and Arram was relaxing on a lady's lap.  Amiri made some friends, didn't wet his pants, and learned about sandbox play and about babies (he was fascinated to watch the babies in the other room through the window).  Arram did a lot of walking, holding on with only one hand, and had lots of cuddles from his teachers.  They both ate well and were friendly.  Hooray!
