Exactly a month ago, on the 4th of September 2013, Danny started big school. Reception (Grade 0) starts in the September after the child's 4th birthday here in the UK. Danny's birthday is in June so he is only 4 and 1/4 and therefore one of the youngest in the year. He has settled in really well though and he appears to be enjoying all the new experiences that school brings. The impression we got at our first parents' meeting is that he has already impressed his teachers. It's been a life changing milestone for all of us but most of all for Daniel. It's a long day for him, from 08h30 to 15h00, with extra mural activities afterwards. He is so excited that he has finally joined Nicholas at Donhead and it is clear that Nicholas is taking the role of big brother really seriously. For me life is much easier with both boys in one school but I do miss my little boy's company terribly during the day!
Man of the moment
Some family shots
Final moment of freedom
Exhausted at the end of the day
He took it all in his stride
It made him do cartwheels
And suddenly he seemed all grown up!
Danny looks like a 'big boy' in his uniform! How are you? The house is so much quieter during the day now...
ReplyDeleteTiring for them, isn't it! He is looking so big, and more like Nick every day. I love the photo of the 2 of them where Nick is leaning against the wall...
ReplyDeleteSuch a big boy! Can't wait to spend time with you all in December :)
