Ben starts School

27th and 28th March

Finally it's happened, it's taken 5 (sometimes long) years, but my youngest child has entered the world of full day education.

Very Cool

I was probably more upset than him at leaving kindy. I have being very involved with the teachers and committee there since Oct 2000. Looonnng time, cool time, made friends forever and helped the centre grow and adapt to a Kindergarten from a playgroup.

Ben of course was only interested in what kind of cakes (FOOD) his Rannie and I made to give to the kindy kids on the last day, and what his favourite song would be to choose( NOISE). (the Snake dance song).

He was a bit apprehensive at first about school - lotsa rules, normal teacher away sick, no friends all made for a boy that didn't want to go for a week, but tough love and he has settled in. ..well sort of, whats a few time-outs a day anyway??

There is still that eerie feeling that I should be doing somethings around 11.30am - like remembering to pick up someone from kindy... weird, I've had to drive somewhere in the middle of the day for 6 1/2 years. It may take some time for that habit to break!

Cheers
