First Day at School (and Preschool)!

Our day started a little earlier than anticipated - Beth was up and dressed in her new uniform, complete with shiny new shoes by 6:30am. She just couldn't understand why the school wasn't open and ready to go at that time too! Toby wasn't quite so keen but was still pretty proud of his new preschool t-shirt.

Daddy went into work late so that he could walk to school with us. It was a bit of a circus since every other daddy had the same idea along with a few grannies too. I think we could probably have sent Beth off on her own straight from the house since she was more than happy to abandon us once she met up with her friends.

Toby was a slightly different story. He happily found his name apple to put on the board and found his peg but wasn't happy when he realised we weren't staying with him. I guess I talked to him lots about going but forgot to mention it would be on his own. Never mind, once we had gone it only took an hour for him to settle down! When I collected him at 11:30am he was fine and said he'd had a good time.

We're not long in from picking Beth up but I'm still in the dark as to what she did all day. From what I can gather it involved some playing outside and lunch (which she ate all of). I think she had fun - suppose that will continue until she realises that she has to go every day . . .
