Turning 3 here in NZ means that kids are now eligable for 20 hours free care - daycare, kindy, babysitter whatever you choose. Malachi had such a fantastic time at Montessori that it was an easy decision to send Vili there. And he's been going there for 2 years to drop off and pick up his brother that he was already familiar with the place, teachers etc. I knew it wouldn't be as easy a transition as it was for Malachi, simply because of their different personalities. Vili had been a clingy baby and is a cautious toddler, he takes a while to warm to people. But it went a whole lot easier then I thought.
Super excited about his bag and lunchbox.

Cheesey boy.
He is a creature of routine by nature, so he loves the procedure of hanging up his bag, putting his lunchbox on the trolley etc. Routine makes him feel secure.
Vili loooooooooooooves puzzles, it's the first thing he does every day.
The first few times he cried when I left him. The next few times he cried after I'd been gone 5-10min. He kept telling me "It's coz I miss you Mummy". (Tear!!) But last week, after 3 weeks of being there, he didn't cry at all!! He was so proud of himself. He loves packing his bag and checking what he's got for lunch. He has already asserted himself as the policeman of the classroom, reminding the other children to push in their chairs and not run inside. He is excited to go everyday, and I look forward to him growing and learning to love learning the way his brother did.
