Final week at Pre-school...

Its Ben's last ever week at pre-school this week and today they let everyone come dressed up in any outfit of choice...and by much convenience (and without any pushing from Mummy - ho ho) Ben chose to go as a Pirate - what luck we had some Pirate gear in the house already ;-)

Ben has thoroughly enjoyed his 18 months at pre-school and it has been really good for him too. Even though we have been talking about it on and off for a while, it dawned on Ben yesterday that this is it, no more pre-school and he burst into tears saying he didn't want to leave....bless him (he soon recovered when I reminded him he will have his Summer present soon... whisper it... its a Scooter). I will even miss pre-school, doing the pre-school run and chatting to the ladies and Ben's keyworker Sue 3 days per week. Ben, you have done really well at pre-school, you had an excellent report on the final parents evening and we are really proud of you. Carry on the good work at 'big school' (blub!). A couple of pics - Ben in pirate outfit and Ben's very first day at pre-school (and yes, I am welling up looking at the first day pic...)
