Well my big boy is now a school boy


And he's a grumpy wee sod this evening on the back of it.

He was so excited this morning and I managed to retain my composure as he got dressed into a uniform for the first time.

Leaving him to school was fine. He smiled, went into his classroom and sat down like a good boy.

He did give me a soppy eyed look as I was leaving and I did cry all over the playground.

He was fine when I picked him up - if a little over tired and over excited and now I'm just settling myself down to the fact we have to do it all again tomorrow. And the next day. And the next day.

I think I'm knackered from the exertion, never mind him.

Bless you - Paige is sooo excited I think we might be headed for a fall on Thursday when she actually has to go to school! Well done for getting through the first day xxx

He looks so cute! Well done for not boo hooing untik the playground. When Jane (my youngest) started big school, the headmistress evicted me. Honest. x
