Rowan's first day school

[mylescorcoran]

Well, we survived.

Rowan was excited as anything but managed to keep to the schedule and we arrived in good time. We couldn't really get Oscar's buggy into the classroom so Rowan said her goodbyes to Sam in the school yard and I saw her into her class and settled her down.

The playschool has obviously had its benefits as Rowan got quickly into the swing of things and waved me goodbye without a bother as I left.

Sam and I, somewhat shellshocked by the whole business and doubtless surprised by the relative ease with which it passed off, rewarded ourselves with a trip to the Libery Grill for french toast, pancakes and bacon. Yum!

We mooched around town until 11.30 when the kids were let out early. (Usually they'll finish at 1.30 but they're eased into the first week gently.) We collected Rowan, rewarded her with a trip to Waterstone's bookshop (can't start the indoctrination too early; a trip to the bookshop is a treat for me too) and then gamely slogged our way home.

Day 1 done only another 12-15 years or more of education to go.

12-15 years or more of education to go

So no university for Rowan then? And what about that PhD she wanted??????????? :-)

Glad the first day went well. I can still remember my first day at playschool being way too traumatic for both myself and my Mum - much wailing and gnashing of teeth as she abandoned me there!

I thought about figuring out the total, but I figured 12 years for primary and secondary and another 3 for college. By the time she's thinking college it will all be available in pill form anyway, right?

Shite. That was me (Myles) posting from Sam's machine, and not remembering to log in. Sigh. I've got decades of education behind me and what good does it do?

But I'm sure the pills will be very expensive...

(Hell, I may be one of the people benefitting from the pill lisencing, so I'm going to make damn sure they're expensive!)

Wow. And here I thought the Girl-O, who just advanced to Pre-School 1, was growing up.

Kudos to Rowan and her proud parents.

Thanks! Good luck to Girl-O too for her coming Pre-School year. What sporting fun is on the cards now the T-Ball has wrapped up?

Probably figure skating, starting in October.

And maybe music classes if they have them on Mondays.

Congratulations to Myles and Sam! You have passed into the next stage of life. Soon, she will be asking for the keys to the car! 8)

So, what book did she choose?

I'm glad she had a good first day, that is _so_ important. I trust that it'll continue to go smoothly but be ready for the exhaustion which will catch up with her at some point.
