James at Pre-School

It has been 2 weeks today since we landed in Melbourne and we've been busy! Yesterday James had his first day at Surrey Hills Pre-School. Luckily a place had become available mid-term so he was accepted right away. We arrived to find Mums and children in the playground adjacent to the kinder and they all welcomed us - it was so lovely! After showing James his locker and hook, the teacher, Karen, introduced us again at mat time and showed everyone on a globe where James had flown from "on a BIG aeroplane"! I stayed for just under an hour to settle him in (had to listen to the story and do a dance!) but as the children collected their lunch and urged James to sit with them I was obviously no longer needed! He had a fantastic day; writing, painting and playing outside in the wonderful bush setting. When Martin and I asked him what was his favourite thing about the day he replied "Everything"! A 14 hour sleep soon followed his busy day... :)
