PHEW. So far so good. My youngest child enjoyed his first day at his new school. I surprised myself by crying after I’d walked away from him – it suddenly all felt so final – all three of my kids at proper grown-up schools and in a blink they’ll all have flown the nest.
Needless to say I got over it quite quickly.
When I picked him up he looked all happy – talked me through the whole day – mostly what he’d had for lunch – he thought he’d been given “beetroot crumble” until it turned out to be apple and blackberry crumble.
He was awarded “Player Of The Day” by his football coach in PE which I”m REALLY pleased about because you can’t get much better than that on Day One. He’s made some friends and likes his teacher and, and, and,
and, I shall just hold my breath for a minute because after a few days of lots more homework etc, from experience they begin to find it all gets a bit relentless and he’ll no doubt not feel quite so upbeat.

Wow – I’m impressed that he’s telling you all about it. In a few years it’ll be a grunt.

I know. Enjoy it whilst it lasts – although it was always a grunt with my oldest boy – so maybe he’s just different! Lx
