Eli the big schoolboy!

After a nice long summer holiday the wait was finally over earlier this week when Eli finally started life as a schoolboy. He'd been looking forward to it, but not in an over-the-top excited-out-of-his-skin sort of way, more just because it meant that he was becoming a big(ger) boy. I was looking forward to it too, even though I was a bit stressed in the lead up - getting the uniform (which had been out of stock) just a few days before school was cutting it a bit close for my liking. Fortunately, by Monday he was all set in his new uniform and he was ready to meet his new schoolmates and his new teachers - Mrs Lowe and Mrs Shortt (and yes, Eli and I still laugh about those names). Here are a few photos of Eli in his uniform and on the walk from the car to his classroom...




I know that it is still early days, but so far the signs with respect to school are encouraging. Eli is keen to go back each day and he talks about some of the other kids and even claims that 6 of them are now his friends!
