First day of kindy

Well we have done it! Tommy started 'kindy school' yesterday and he had a wonderful time. He spent time outside in the sandpit, water tray, and had lots of fun climbing the fort and swinging like a monkey. One of his favourite activities at home is cutting paper and cardboard with scissors - so of course time at the cutting, gluing table was in order. We cut triangles, squares and circles and glued them on to paper. By the time it was ready to go home, their was a bit of a meltdown, but with the promise of an icecream he was soon skipping out the gate to the car.


Here is our very excited little man on his first day of 'kindy school'

Today brought about a much calmer Tommy and Mummy. We had a great time at kindy, Tommy spent lots of time at the cutting and gluing table and the painting easel, so we have lots of great artworks now. He also took off and spent some time in the sandpit with his new friends. Meanwhile, I spent my time doing odd jobs for the teachers so Tommy knew I was there but that I was 'busy helping the teachers' which gave him the time to explore and feel more confident in himself and his environment.

We have had a fairly busy last few days and each night Tommy has 'crashed' into bed very, very tired; although it hasn't stopped him from still waking at 6am each morning! Aargh!

Tommy, NanNan and Morfar are so proud of our little man. A Kindy Kid at last. It wont be long and you wont want Mummy there at all. NanNan has bought you a lovely book about Thomas the Tank Engine telling the time fo a big Kindy Boy. I have a new boy in my class called Thomas too.

Love from NanNan and Morfar
