New school

This evening Mommy and Daddy and I went to my new school to meet my teacher for next year and to see my new classroom. I was VERY excited about it, but also a little bit nervous. I wanted to take Leo with me, but Daddy said that some of the other children might think that was a funny thing to do, so I left him in the car instead.

My classroom is the same one that Mommy had when she was at this school! I can't believe Mommy was ever that little! Mommy said that if there was time tonight she would show me a photo of herself on her first day at school, but when we got home there wasn't time for that - I had to shower and then go to bed. Maybe she'll show me tomorrow.

I have a lovely teacher. Her husband works with Mommy, so I'd met her before. There are lots of my friends from pre-primary school who are in my class, including my best friend! That means that I will have friends to play with when I come to school.

Tonight we got to draw a picture, eat a picnic supper, and then we went to play. (While we did that, Mommy and Daddy had a meeting where my teacher told them all the things they need to know for next year.) The school has kept our picture - I don't know why they want it, but maybe it's because they want to put them up at the start of next year like my Bumblebees class did this year. I had SUCH a fun time.

School

Sometimes I like my new school, and sometimes I don't. We don't get to play as much as we used to last year, and I don't like that. But my teacher is very nice, and very clever. She knows all sorts of things!

I've made a new friend at school - Mia. I went to her house for a playdate last week. Then, the next day, my aftercare teacher got the days mixed up and told me I was going home with Mia again. Mia's granny took me home with her, and Mommy had to come and fetch me. Mommy wasn't cross with me, but she was very surprised. Until she had spoken to my aftercare teacher, she thought that maybe I had just organised to go home with Mia!

I've also started going to gym with Mommy. I like the gym - I get to play on the climbing wall, or on the Jimmy Jungles frame, or watch TV, or draw, or paint, or do all kinds of things. Mommy goes twice a week, which is a lot of fun!

I've also started having swimming lessons again - but this time I'm with my aftercare teacher. I like swimming, but she makes me swim hard. Still, I'm learning all sorts of fun things - like how to dive. I can now pick up the divers on the bottom of the pool ALL BY MYSELF - no-one has to push me down anymore. The pool is very cold, so afterwards I always have to dress warmly. Daddy comes too - he swims lengths while I have my lesson. It's nice to do something special with Daddy and with Mommy, something that doesn't involve Nathan.

I do love my baby brother, but sometimes he's very annoying - like when he stands in front of the TV, or when he breaks up my puzzle, or when he tries to take my toys. Then I get very cross with him. But he can be very sweet too - like this afternoon when we were jumping on the trampoline and he was copying me. We were jumping, then jumping onto Mommy for a hug, and then falling down on the trampoline again. It was lots of fun!

Tulips from Hamsterdam

Today was my school concert. This is my last concert at this school, cos next year I'm going to pre-primary school!

I had to dress like a cook - see my pretty apron? - and I got to sing 'Tulips from Hamsterdam'.

End of term fun

At the end of the term we always have a dress-up day. This term, Mom helped me to make a special costume. I painted this one myself and Mom painted my face. Can you guess what I am?

School concert

This is me, singing my solo. I had to sing "I see the moon".

After that, I was a sun in the planets song...

"The sun is the centre of us all. Without gravity we would fall. With a nick-knack paddywhack, take a rocket ship - we are going on a trip..."
