Last Friday my darling Captain started school. We spent a great deal of time preparing him for this new adventure. For instance, I let him accompany me on many outings dressed like this:
Yes, that would be an old silk tie from the mid 1970s that belonged to his grandfather, his new school shoes and a hat from his old pre-school. I know, he looks so handsome!
The school was very specific about hair. Short back and sides apparently. This was harder for me than him.
We read an awful lot of these and that is exactly what they were, awful. Can anyone recommend a good book about starting school? Luckily, the school had made a fabulous book that included photos of his teacher, photos of the school itself and many details about the school's daily routine. We read it many times in preparation for this momentous event.
So proud to be wearing his new uniform!
Not a tear either. From him or me!
My darling boy, I am so proud of you and wish you all the best on this new and great adventure.
