heart rending

This is my kids 2nd day @ school. Wish I had read this article before. I did all the mistakes like peeking into his class, taking him away from class today. But I wish the teachers just wouldn't bundle the kids into the classroom and shut the doors. It is easier to let them in the playgrounds and familiarise them with the surroundings before beginning class.

First day of School Breakfast

The first day of school really sets bthe tone for the year so start with a well balanced meal as in bacon eggs toast and jam pancakes. And drinks like orange or apple juice or milk.

special breakfast

My husband and I both took the morning off from work so we could bring our son to school. It was a very short day so after we all went to breakfast together to celebrate.
