His first day


Well, we did.  Survived the first day at school.  He went straight in, sat down and played with the train track, completely unphased by other children crying, mums crying... he played with everything.

I stood there like a lemon, not quite sure if I left it long enough to leave him.  I had a little tear when speaking to another mum who was quite openly distraught.  It was a big day for her in many ways.

After 2 hours I picked him up and he ran out beaming, shouting I love school!

Phew... so that's okay then!

Rufus missed his big bro.. but played in the park with his best mate Henry.


 I think the excitement is all too much for him.

I am now sitting here still sewing in nametapes to his clothes, happy in the knowledge that my monkey is gonna do alright.
