our big first day...

First Day of School

I say "our" because its a huge day not only for Bain, but for all three of us. So the day started out fairly cruisey with breakfast, then a little rush towards the end only to end up quite early at school.

His teacher Mrs Campbell is lovely and we put all our things away. He settled on a table with one of his kinder mates Liam (pictured) and happily drew away.

We said our goodbyes and it was no big deal to him. He had been so excited and waited so long for school, so it was no surprise that he was so keen. I didn't cry, perhaps as I had to rush off to work - my boss had already let me be half hour late. I did feel a little anxious most of the morning.

He ate all his fruit and chicken sandwich, and his small piece of our banana-carrot cake. I figured a little piece, homemade and with fruit/veg in it wouldn't be classed as junk. He did send home his crackers - water crackers - as I was trying a salt reduced dry bikkie, it didn't work.

All in all, a GREAT day. He was happy, his teacher said he listened well, she even took his photo with a great big - non cheeky - smile, half her luck. And the most important thing is that he wants to go back tomorrow!!

Thanks heaps for everyones well wishes!!!
