Birthday and school part 2

Mum barely held it together on Tuesday morning...... her baby was going to school- he is grown up!

Riley dressed himself and looked very cute. He hadn't slept well the night before- mixture of excitement and anxiety and it was great to see his eagerness to go over. He even wore his own schoolbag... great considering he has made Mum carry it for the last 3 years to kindy!!

I went over at lunchtime to visit and he was pretty fragile but we had lunch and after he finished asking if he could come home, he went off to join in some games. Some boys said they were playing star wars so Riley jumped into a star position... we may have to teach him what star wars are. No wonder his teacher said to me he is like 'pure innocence'.


His teacher worked out quickly that he is reading so we are pleased that they can see he is a clever man and she is looking out for him. On his second day, he was even more fragile at lunchtime and wanted to make sure we would find each other after school (wee misunderstanding on the first day had meant he was distraught by the time we met up). But when I went to him at 3pm, he skipped up to me and said "I had a good time at school Mum". He is enjoying playing musical statues to hymns with some of his classmates at the break.

He is keen to get in his uniform each day and trot off which makes mum feel good. He is acting so grown up- I keep shedding a wee tear. He is such a sweetheart, though not sleeping well at night. His mind is too busy.

Nana is down staying and she hopped into bed with him for awhile last night. After awhile he asked Nana to get out. She fell out of bed doing this and all he said was "can you straighten the table that you moved Nana?"............. I love this wee boy :-)
