First day at barnehage

Today was Rhiannon's first day at the barnehage (pronounced "barnuh-hogguh", basically a nursery school that is for kids 1-5 years old). I was a bit worried that she would be overwhelmed and clingy but not this gal! She wanted to get down and walk around as soon as we got in the door, and she made her way down the corridor smiling her brilliant little smile at anyone who would look her way. Here she is ready for the big day...When we walked into the 1-2 year olds room, most of the kids had just diapers on and nothing else! It turns out that today was 'bath day' where the kids go play in a plastic pool 3 at a time. This happens once a month or so. Rhiannon opted out of the bath fun, but she settled right into playing with the other kids. There are 6 other 1-year-olds, but Rhiannon is the youngest.
Here she is in action! At lunchtime, everyone sat around the table and the Lunch Lady brought in a tray of open-faced sandwiches. Then before eating, everyone sang a song which turned out to translate to "thanks to the cows for giving us milk to drink" and then clapped and lunged for the goods!
