Here is a photo of Jamie sat next to Joseph and Archie on the end. I felt a bit sad during the party as Joseph and Archie seemed to be together and not wanting Jamie to join in - mainly as they were pirates and Jamie had refused to have his face painted!! When it came to the balloon modelling Jamie also went against his peers and, although everyone else had a sword, Jamie asked for a 'doggy' which he was very upset when it finally went down!!
What was brilliant was that we may have got rid of Jamie's phobia about people who dress up. At Brewsters they have a Brewsters Bear who comes out and sits with the birthday boy, while everyone sings 'Happy Birthday'. I sat Jamie a distance away from the Bear and the children, and we just watched. As everyone started to sing, we moved closer and, although Jamie did not go as far as a hug with the Bear, he wasn't as scared as he has been!
It was lovely to meet some of the other mums from the nursery and have a 'proper' chat - instead of just rushing past them shouting 'morning' as what usually happens. It was nice to know that a lot of them have put down to go to the same school as Jamie; so he certainly won't feel lonely on his first day. Hopefully, there will be a lot of familiar faces. However, still got to wait til mid April before we find out the school that Jamie will be attending.....
