Fruit bag

After the first couple days of school and watching Big Brother struggle to hold his fruit, drink and notes for the teacher I decided that he needed a little bag to carry it all in.

And so the Fruit bag was born...

It is more than roomy enough for a 1L bottle of water and a banana to slide in. Made from the fruitiest fabric I could find at CQS and it only used 2 FQ's, one of which only cost me $1! That's just awesome and no more dropping everything on the way into class...

First day of the next 13 years!

It's hard to believe that it was almost 5 years ago that this big guy was such a teeny tiny bundle of beauty. A smidge over 4 pounds born he was mistaken for a doll on a couple of occasions. And even though today he is still a bit littler than his peers, he isn't the smallest out of all the new kindergarteners!

 

 Goofballs!

His had 2 new teachers to meet today and I knew that he was going to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!

Sure enough he did, when I picked him up from his first day he straight away asked:

"Can we go to the Pool Mum? Ethan is going to the pool! Please Mum I want to go with him!"

It's funny how after 1 day they are already making their own plans, Ethans Mum didn't know they were going to the pool either...



Whizzing me by

Aren't we always saying "Doesn't time fly"? Well today if whizzed on by me right before my eyes. Before Breakfast I had my sweet little man and once we'd finished, I wondered where he had gone. He has been wanting to go to Preschhol since his brother started 12 months ago and today was his day. I have never seen him more excited than when I asked him to get ready. Then as we headed out the gate he ran the whole way there. Telling his Dad all about 'his' Preschool along the way.

Normally we would have to drop off Big Brother first and then take him last but today he proudly told us that he would be dropped off first.

There was an enourmous hug-fest as he said good bye to Mum, Dad and Big Brother and then without any hesitation then he was off...

... and I was left in aw of how Big the Little Brother was becoming.

Auditions

Today we came home realising it is only 11 more sleeps until the big day! The FIRST day! The beginning of a whole lotta schoolin'

I still need to get another shirt and shorts pair but other than that we are READY! Excited much.

But today we just couldn't wait another 11 more sleeps we just had to try all that new stuff on.

New shoes, new socks, new shirt, new hat!

I LOVE that you LOVE school and I can't wait either. Love you Monkey. X
