A big week for my boys, the two oldest back to School, Liam as normal, but Lewis his first day at secondary school, and with Lewis being a sensitive sole, he couldn't sleep for the two nights leading up to the big day, and then come the morning, he sobbed his heart out, panic came out of nowhere that he didn't do the home he was given on the introduction week before the summer holidays - that he never told me about. I calmed him down telling him not to worry, just apologize to the teacher and advise we will do it in the evening. He sobbed, and his mates knocked for him, but he asked me to take him on his first day. He washed his face, and settled down and we headed to school - he was fine, and has been fine since.

We did do his home work that evening - it had to be a photo of him reading a book in an unusual place and then write a couple of paragraphs about the book - for his photo he wanted it on top of the shed.Liam - no problems returning back to school, though his body clock is going to have to get used to getting up early again, so he has been struggling in the morning and he is like me in the mornings, rather grumpy.
Jacob - his first day at primary school, reception class, he was quite excited, but as they are doing the first three days as half days, he doesn't get to take his packed lunch box in, which he was very disappointed about.
I picked Jacob up and he said 'Mum I don't like it' none of the children would speak to me, and I am not going back. This is a brand new school for him, so he doesn't know any of the children, as he couldn't get a place in the school in which he went to nursery - but on the second day he started to make friends and he seemed a bit more happy about it.

P.S sadly, Liam being 14, thus a teenager, he will not allow me to take photos of him, otherwise I would have one of him on this post.
