Benjamin's first day of school

Well the day had finally arrived. Benjamin had been counting down the sleeps for a week until he started school. He was so excited to finally be at school with Daddy and Matt.

After all the photos were taken, we piled into the car and headed off for school. Once we arrived Benjamin found his name tag and waited patiently outside his classroom door for the teacher to open it. Once the bell rang and it was time to go inside Benjamin's grin was from ear to ear. He found his special bag locker, put his hat in his bag and then sat on the carpet to do a puzzle. Daddy was able to come down from his office to see Benjamin settle into his new classroom and this was a highlight from BJ. After 15mins of settling in time it was time for the Mummy and Daddy's to leave and let school begin! Benjamin was only at school until after morning tea as this is a staggered entry week for Prep students. So on the drive home he informed us (Mum, Matty, Annie and Lucy) what he got up to at BIG school. They played with the puzzles, sang some songs, did some colouring in and had morning tea. All in all BJ had a GREAT day.
