off they go

George's first day at school. We walked to school with the big lads, all looking very shiny, then George and I came home. He's only in for 2 hours today and he got the afternoon "shift". So after he'd changed back in to play clothes we went to East Links Family Park for a while, which was much quieter than it has been of late. A bit of trampolining and sliding, but his mind was elsewhere. As he munched an early lunch, he asked if I thought he'd get maths today. He was disappointed when I said probably not. I am looking forward to reminding him of this in years to come!

Back to school for 12 noon. And off he went with just one backwards glance and a grin.
