We’re adjusting to the ebbs and flows of the school day. It’s quite a big adjustment, but so far Mr 5 is enjoying it. His teacher is fantastic and his classmates are so little and sweet. When Mr 5 fell over in the playground on his third day, two ‘bigger kids’ helped him out by getting some bandaids for his knees.
Today we painted our nails green – the colour chosen by Mr 5 himself. I asked him if any of the kids at school liked his nails and he said “some kids said it was ‘girl’ “. I asked him how he felt about that, and he said “I told them NO”. So cute.
The end of the week brings our first school fundraiser, so I made up some ‘galaxy packs’ today for Mr 5′s schoolmates to buy for a dollar or so. They’re full of galaxy playdough, some glow-in-the-dark stars, stickers and some marbles. I hope the kids like them.
Tuesday is always baking day, so I also made some chocolate chip biscuits. I like that Mr 5 always has something homemade in his lunchbox. Because he gets so tired after a school, I find that he really needs to eat by 5pm. Unfortunately tonight’s dinner stretched well past that timeframe, but some veges and chicken quickly thrown together, with wine, chicken stock, preserved lemons and herb salt filled up our bellies and Mr 5 was fast asleep in bed before 7pm.
