Good boyz @ Cal Academy, and Deven the Sunflower

One of our favorite spots is the California Academy of Science in Golden Gate Park.

The boys *love* the events - the penguin feeding (shown here), the diver show (which is the only thing that makes the boys calm even a bit regarding their baths-though they still shriek when their heads get wet, but I digress), and others,
We are members, which means we get to enter 1 hour earlier on Sundays. What I'm proud of here is that our boys listened to the speakers, sat nicely where they were asked, and were generally good. It helped that they were both well-rested & well-fed first.

In other news, Deven will be switching classes at school, to the Sunflowers classroom. We're really happy (ok, relieved), because the first one was, well, mayhem. Deven had started not wanting to go to school (he previously would beg to go on Saturdays!), having nightmares, and generally behaving much worse since he moved into the current room. Contrast that when you enter the other classroom for the same-aged kids, and it's the picture of calm, structure, and pleasant, unstressed preschoolers.
We think the new class should be much better for Deven. Yay!
