Miranda has officially moved into the preschool class at the daycare. Overall, she’s transitioned pretty easily. Last week, she brought flowers to the toddler class and said goodbye to her old teachers. She’s gone over to the new classroom without any tears. I guess it’s been kind of overdue, and it helps to finally be with her sister again. That said, we now know that we’ll definitely want to separate them for kindergarten. More than one teacher has commented on how Eleanor’s behavior is definitely worse when Miranda’s around. She basically stops listening to them, and is only focused on bossing Miranda. Given that she’s been in the preschool class for a couple of months ahead of Miranda, she sees Miranda’s joining her as an invasion of her space.

Here’s a note that Miranda put together for the flowers. Agnes helped her write her name and the message, but the picture of the whale (as she called it) was all her.
