New Beginnings

Along with everyone else (or so it seems), we started something new this week.  Today, my boys had their first day of real day care, complete with preschool for the twins.  We have so loved having the boys at home these last three years (almost three years exactly since I went back to work) and have had some wonderfully loving caretakers over the years.  But it was time for them to have a little more stimulation and structure.
After searching high and low for something that was 1) logistically convenient considering my changing work locations, 2) could do preschool + daycare for all three kids considering I didn't want to deal with mid-day drop-offs and pick-ups, 3) would handle my kids' crazy food allergies, and 4) was at least relatively affordable, I found Little Smiles Day Care.
I heard of them through three Facebook friends from three very different parts of my life.  They each knew the owner, a fellow momma of twin boys (hers are only 6 months), in different ways and highly recommended her.  While the transition was met with a little apprehension (mostly by me), they did great today.  And, to ease my worries, I was sent these super cute pictures of the kids throughout the day.
