like this place

Today was Enzo's first official day at Pacific Oaks. He had the best time! We were well prepared - we asked Alex to make sure that he got his nap today and when we got home to bring him to school, he was in a very good mood and ready to go! He met Ralph at the door saying, "want to go to brand new school!"

PO is amazing; the campus is beautiful and the classroom well stocked and filled with things that kept Enzo very entertained: different costumes, including a funny red cape, cars, dolls, playdough, musical instruments, stuffed animals, puzzles, books. He spent most of his time in the sand box and playing with the water pump. He never even got to the slide or the boat or the paints or colored water.

His teachers were so nice and we all liked his classmates and their various parents. There is a girl there that lives right up the street from us; there is another girl in the class that has been with Enzo in various places since he was 6 months old at Gymboree. There were only 1/2 the usual number of kids there today; the classes are staggered for the first week. It will be interesting to see what the place is like when there are 14 kids in there instead of the 7 that we had today. When we left this afternoon as we were getting in the car, he turned to us and said, "I like this place!"

He was exhausted from all his running around when we got home - it made for a peaceful dinner where he ate a ton and an easy bath and bedtime.
