Fatherhood²: Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It’s Off to School we go…

Posted on September 2, 2012January 7, 2018 by Henry Elliss

Well, it had to happen eventually – and the start of term seems like as good a time as any, ha ha. Yes, Robert is starting “big school” this week – Tuesday to be precise. And as you can see from the photo below, he’s REALLY looking forward to it! :-/

To be fair to his school (which he is bound to love once he gets there, I’m sure) the main reason he is so unhappy about starting school this week is – wait for it – the colour of his school jumper! Robert is apparently not a fan of Green (this week!), preferring instead a red jumper it seems. Not much we can do about that, sadly.

So this week is inevitably going to be a tumultuous one for all of us, but Robert most of all. Not only will he be doing full-time for the first time (last term at pre-school he was only on 3 days a week full time), it’ll be at a brand new school – which none of his pre-school friends are attending, sadly. Plus he’ll have the additional fun of a new before-and-after-school child minder 3 times a week to get used to.

Needless to say I shall be writing a post about how it went next weekend, if we make it through unscathed…!

Wish him luck, we’re going in…

One good thing to come from this week’s rail strikes (and the subsequent week WFH) was my daily sunrise walks - something I really miss when I have to go into London. Fingers crossed that 2023 allows for a few more of them.
