Here is the face of Redwood Nursery, Abu Dhabi (well--at least it is the picture on the Facebook album cover for Open Day Visitors).

Pickle and Magoo were the first adventurers to scale this climbing wall.

He seems to be settling well, though drop-offs are still heart-wrenching and filled with sadness.  I am told (by teachers and other parents) that he settles down really quick, is engaged, and has shown tremendous growth in the past three weeks.

His vocabulary and 'talking' have definitely increased, so, it is obviously helping him in his language development.

We (A, myself and Pickle) are all unwell.  A has pink-eye (and is now being paid 1 aed per eye to cooperate with drops), and a cough and cold.  Pickle has the cough and cold (and possibly the conjunctivitis, but I am still watching him).  I have the cough and sore-throat--and am nursing myself with hot water and honey.

Was treated to an unexpected visit with Christine today--very nice to catch up with her (though I was very disheveled looking, which I noticed when she was leaving--sorry C!).

Long weekend coming up (though A has been home since yesterday courtesy pink eye).  I love long weekends and down-time with the kids.  Think we might try a Dubai trip with Christine on Friday (we'll see how energetic I am feeling).
