First day at big school


Today was Robert's first day at BIG SCHOOL. Actually, his introduction to Grade One happened yesterday, with a party and time to meet his teacher and find his desk. Today was really quite relaxed: he seemed so comfortable, although we knew the excitement and nervousness were very much there. In the end, the day was a little tame. He was hoping for at least one book to read for homework, but it was only the parents who were assigned any - we have duly labelled every item exactly as instructed!
Yesterday was my day to shed a couple of tears. It really is amazing to see that little bundle moving into this new phase, and entering a world so much bigger than the one he's been a part of up until now. We are really proud of the boy Robert is becoming, and pray that God will bless and grow him in wonderful new ways.
