March 18 = CDC First Day

So there's this place called the CDC.  Not the Centers for Disease Control but the Child Development Center.  They offer full time child care like a normal day care but they also offer hourly care which is awesome for us.  It is so difficult to get cleaning done with two babies at home so I'm always cleaning after they go to bed which cuts into the time Zachary and I have together and with our new obsession with the TV show Scandal, that's not working for us.  This also provides an opportunity, especially for Liam, to be around other kids his age and to practice different routines like eating at a table, using utensils, taking turns, lining up, etc.  So we've decided to bring them here around once a week to give them some time around others and to give me some time not around anyone!  I can use this time to clean or to just sit in silence- we will see how that pans out.

They did great!  Liam ate all his lunch and even tried drinking out of an open cup.  Malia of course gave the nursery workers no trouble at all.  And Zachary and I got to some more packing and were able to have uninterrupted conversations- what a concept!  But we missed them and I was excited to pick them up.
