A time for new places and new friends

Leo is starting a new daycare on Monday, Boulevard Little People Academy. He has visited a couple times and met some new friends. I am nervous for the transition and will miss the wonderful people at Kindercare but think he will do just fine and it will be nice to have him in Oakland, meeting friends here. The first pictures are of Leo's last day at Kindercare. The last picture is of Leo's first new friend at Boulevard!
