The Bacchic Bambini: Opening Assault upon Bucharest




The Bacchic Bambini have landed, with alternating bursts of sleepiness and manic playground enthusiasm!


In spite of her jet-lag, Sophia put on a brave face and boarded a bus to her new kindergarten today. She admitted to being nervous, but when her teacher called to check in about her status this morning it was reported that Sophia had demanded a snack ("I'm staaaarving," she told her new teachers), ate it ferociously, and in the process inspired all the other students to also demand snacks. Thus her little mutiny begins...and she is clearly feeling like herself.

Alexander missed out on the playground yesterday, since he completely passed out in his stroller for a good two hours while we navigated the busy streets of Bucharest and the market. He is enjoying bottle upon bottle of pomegranate juice and very strange cartoons broadcast in Romanian (which even the jaded Sophia admits "sound really cool in Romania talk")...

More soon...
