First Day of School

Well, the summer school holidays are over, and Jasper is back at school.

He has started at a brand new school this year, and so far so good! He has a lovely teacher and the kids seem pretty nice!

He was so nervous about going to a school where he did not know anyone. Once he got there though, he was happy to be there, and is excited now in the mornings to get dressed and go!
Here he is on Monday morning eating his weetbix for breakfast! He looks pretty confident and happy... but wait!

Once we finally got dressed and out the door, this is the little nervous wreck that I had! he would not put his arms down for anything! he is shoe-less as he did not want to wear his nice new school shoes, he wanted to wear his old ones, and they were in the car!!
Then we have day 3. Jasper was more than happy to pose for a nice photo, not a nervous photo! He loves his school, and thinks his teacher is pretty cool too - and he loves his new school shoes!

We can't just have "nice" photos taken where Jasper is concerned... He wanted some silly ones too! I have just added one.. but there were many!

I don't know who thought that white shirts on primary school kids was a good idea... I am washing the one he wears every evening - orange, paint and dirt so far! Lucky they come out easy!

I am feeling a little lost without my shadow, but he is only in half days for the first 2 weeks, then it is full time. It is exhausting for him, even just with half days, but he loves it!
There is nothing else to report. I will post next week - we are going to Sydney this weekend (about 5 1/2 hours flight away) because Paul's little brother is getting married! I am sure to have some pics from our 4 days there!
Thanks for reading.

Hi Brooke,
I have been wondering how things are going. Jasper looks very sweet in his new uniform. Poor guy, being nervous but he looks much happier in the other photo and I am glad he is settling in. It is different with them at school :-)
Do you mind sending me your new mobile number?
Love ya lots,
Charisse
