It is so strange that we have known where Mehandis would be enrolled in daycare, a month or two before we even knew Mehandis. Michael and I visited many different facilities, asked for input from at least a dozen friends (or even acquaintances), made numerous calls and even internet research to find a place we felt our son-to-be would enjoy. I guess that is how most expectant parents go about their research as well. Hmm, didn't think about that.
Anyhow, we both felt very good about our choice in daycare. And I went with Mehandis to visit his new class the last Friday of Christmas Break. I was at ease during our visit and Mehandis proceeded to chow down at the teacher's snack offerings. Smart ploy on their part :)
So the big day finally arrived, just yesterday. Mehandis needed to get up about an hour earlier than usual. Michael needed to do Mehandis's morning dressing routine. And I needed to maintain calmness towards Michael and composure with Mehandis as a I prepared to say goodbye to those big brown eyes.
Good news - Mehandis did well... and so did I. His teachers, whom I like very much, gave him a "star" for his first day. The hardest thing for him was understanding that he needed to stay laying down in his cot for a nap. But he eventually did and took a good nap. The baked beans for lunch were not too big of a hit either. But judging by the condition of his shirt, Mehandis enjoyed plenty of the other food offerings.
The above photo was taken by Michael, right before I took Mehandis to "school". His school bag looks like it is bigger than him!
