Thank you all for asking about Charles and Edwin!

Of course they are still best mates!! They are also next door neighbours. Edwin drew a picture for you to illustrate this:

Charles with his ice cream sandwich and Edwin with his double scoop. In the summertime, Mr Kashi's truck often passed down their street.

Here are what their homes look like, by the way:

They actually have known each other since they were both babies. Charles's family moved into their home about six months after Edwin's Papa and Daddy adopted Edwin.

Edwin really adores Charles and thinks that Charles is the best person he knows, and the strongest, too. Here he drew Charles giving him a hug after the incident on the slide.

Also, after Edwin came home from the hospital, Charles visited to let him hug the stuffed dog, Mr Kutta. Though Edwin doesn't always like stuffies (and especially not dolls) he was very happy to see Charles and did give Mr Kutta many snuggles that day, because Charles's mummy had just washed Mr Kutta and he smelled nice. Also pictured is Edwin's special blanket.

So yes, no matter what universe, Charles and Edwin are best friends forever.

We loved these questions and since they sort of go together, here we go!!

The kids all play together just about how you’d expect—sometimes interpersonal relationships are more challenging (looking at you, Charles and Thomas and Edwin and Crystal) but overall everyone tries their best (and Miss Nurse helps them get along, too, if they can’t.)

Niko loves artistic activities. Crystal is her muse and she loves designing costumes for herself and Crystal to wear around the classroom.

Crystal loves hand gesture songs like the “Rock, Scissors, Paper!” Song.

Charles is a kinaesthetic learner and loves movement-related activities. He loves “ritomikku” (movement play) because he can stretch and get out his energy while learning new things!

Edwin loves riddles and he’s become obsessed with cat’s cradle. Miss Nurse is helping him learn on rainy days when they’re stuck indoors. Thomas wishes he could play this (he loves the idea of baby Meatball rocking in a cradle!) but he’s not patient enough quite yet.

Instead, Thomas loves hide and seek, tag, and red light green light. He loves winning!! But he doesn’t (usually) have a tantrum if he loses.

Monty loves games where he can pretend to be a crow. Also, he loves when Miss Nurse hides treasures in the sandbox for him! Shiny! (Pay no attention to the treasures buried by Meatball.)
