It was with trepidation that I left the house early this morning. Yesterday we spent a few hours filling out his first day school book. He drew his fire engine, coloured one of three balloons, drew a big picture of his daddy and lastly drew about a hundred candles on a birthday cake.
Carol spent a long time shortening his over-sized-last-minute-bought-because-John-Lewis-is-pants tracksuit bottoms and sewing and sticking his name into everything. Well done!
Amy just phoned after dropping him off. His was crying until he saw his friends and then happily went running into the school saying “Bye Mummy!” :-). I am glad that he wasn’t upset on his first day.
I got home later than usual because the bus to Feltham station had broken down. When I arrived Jake and Amy were upstairs reading stories. I went up and he told me about his day. He made a new friend but couldn’t remember his name. He had some fruit and milk. One of the boys asked for biscuit but they didn’t have any. There were four teachers and they all were very nice. They read a story from a big book which was about a dog. All in all we enjoyed it a great deal. Fingers-crossed for Wednesday and the 9am to 3pm touch.
