Today was Arthur's first day of school!* He is in the Red Room, where Beatrice started out, with Miss Maria and Miss Charlie. Beatrice, meanwhile, is right across the courtyard in the Yellow Room.

Overall the first day went relatively well. Unlike his sister, who never cried once, Arthur burst into tears when I dropped him off this morning. However, after I left the playground, I snuck back around to see what happened next. Miss Maria called Beatrice over to help calm Arthur down, and a few minutes later Arthur was sitting in Miss Maria's lap quietly playing in the sandbox.
When I came to pick him up four hours later, he was still sniffly and emotional. Miss Maria told me that Beatrice had been called in again to cheer him up - I am really proud of Beatrice for being such a good sister - and that Arthur had insisted on being held by a teacher most of the day.
When I asked him about his day he said, "I was sad," but conceded that he enjoyed playing in the sandbox and eating his lunch. And he seemed enthusiastic about Friday's weekly pizza lunch, so I think things are looking up.
