Watching and waiting

We are sort of watching to see how the boys do in their new preschool classes.
They are in separate classes this year. Doug is in the 5 day a week 4 year old class and Andy is in the 2 & 3 day 4 year old classes.

There are at least 8 children in Andy's class who go every day and we were assured that they would do different art activities each day. I just want him to be challenged because I know that child....if he gets bored he will start trying things and considering that his is a risk taker and creative....I don't think any of us want that.

Also, last year the boys were together in class and we thought they would do fine apart but you just never know what will come up. We had tried to prepare them ahead of time and then they seemed mostly okay with it. Tonight Doug was upset (and being tired probably added to it). He said that he wanted to be in Andy's class.
When I asked why, his answer was...."Andy has not met my teacher."
So I guess tomorrow Andy will help drop Doug off at class and then we will take him to his own class. Of course their classrooms are on completely the opposite ends of the hallways.

Good luck! I think it will be great for them to break away from each other and socialize with other kids. Given that they seem to have such different personalities, it will be interesting to see what kinds of personalities they gravitate toward in the absence of the other. Of course, whether this strategy works for a set of twins depends on the twins....
