Friends of School
Yesterday was Jamie's first full day at school and mummy's first meeting of the Ling Moor Friends of School.
Turned out that from the whole of the 'new' parents, I was the only one to turn up to the meeting! Unfortunately, I had Jamie with me who was not only very tired and very fidgety, but he also had refused to eat his lunch and so was very hungry.
I did stay for most of the meeting (I think) and did volunteer for the next Ling Moor Open Eve in October. And I did learn about the extension to the school hall......

First Full Day At School
Felt like crying as I left Jamie at school today. This was the first day I have taken him to school since his first day. Daddy has taken him every day since then. Up until today he has only been doing 8.45am til 11.30, today its FULL TIME.
As we walked into the school grounds we saw Isobel. He knows Isobel from Park and they have always been friends. Today he kept stopping to wait for her and then ran after he when she did, but she didn't really want to play with Jamie. When we got into the classroom, Joseph was there, but again, Jamie just wanted to play with Isobel. Another - bigger boy - came over and said 'Hi' so it was nice to see Jamie had made a new friend.
Is this going to be the story of his life: chasing around after women, while they ignore him......I hope not!
Isobel does seen so much more confident than Jamie, and actually, she does seem bigger than him (even with his big feet!)
As for mummy, it was weird being in the playground with all the other parents. There were little sections of parents stood together and its hard not to feel excluded. I did speak to Joseph's mum though, so didn't feel too bad about having no friends.
And its his first full day with Lunch, as we have paid for hot dinners for him. We have talked to him every day about the need to eat everything, but he was already moaning 'he didn't like Beef Burgers' this morning. When I said they were 'like a McDonanlds' he changed his mind.....
It's not like Nursery / Pre School where I can ring to check if he is OK during the day. I shall just have to wait til I pick him up....

Big Foot / Feet
While in Sainsbury's this afternoon we popped along to Clarks.
Can't believe that Jamie now has size 11 and a half (F) feet.
Didn't get any Clarks, as wasn't sure of the colour he should wear at school, but did buy him some size 12 Superman wellies!!

Paper Friends
Jamie has a curious game at the moment where he 'plays' with pictures that he has coloured in.
He has a sent of Avengers pictures, a set of Toy Story pictures and some Smurfs.
It started off one afternoon whereby Jamie kept requesting characters from Toy Story to be printed off the computer, so that he could colour them in. But once he had coloured them in, he didn't want to put them on the wall or show them to anyone, he just wanted to 'play' with them. Now, when we watch Toy Story, the rest of the (paper) characters must watch it as well. He got very upset this morning when we could not find Little Bo Peep!! At the weekend he put Emperor Zurg in 'jail', which just so happened to be the other side of the garden gate. Jamie got very upset when Zurg blew away!!
Jamie's new teacher had given each of the children in the class a scrap book to fill with photos, paintings, drawings, tickets, etc. to show her what they had been up to over the summer holidays. I knew when Jamie had shown the teacher his, as he got very upset with me, as I had stuck in one of his 'characters' to show his teacher his colouring skills. I am not sure she got to hear about his holiday - of which I included some photographs and information - as I think he was too mad with mummy for including a Hulk and a Spiderman picture (not to mention Batman and Robin).

How did it go?
Jamie was a bit apprehensive at first, but after he saw Joseph he seemed a lot happier, and daddy and I (and Josephs mum) left them looking round their new classroom holding hands. When daddy picked Jamie up, he talked about who he had been playing with - mainly the other children from his nursery. He was shattered!!
First Day At School
Since getting married, coming home from our hols, Jamie's last day at nursery, getting the house ready for the wedding reception and mummy getting used to working 5 hours a day (every day), there has not been a lot of time for anything else. My blogs have suffered, and my 'To Do' list gets longer everyday!
However, we did manage to get Jamie kitted out nicely for his first day at school (and labelled!)
We have also chosen (and paid for) his hot school meals from his first full day (next Thursday) til October half term......
