Grade One



First day of Grade One was a big success. He apparently made lots of new friends, helped the new boy find the toilets, learnt sight words, made an Australian flag (he's dictacting here, by the way..) and counted to 108.

They also drew pictures of their family. Please do note my fetching orange skirt:

The first line apparently says "My little brother is small". Ryan is not amused.

Don't be offended but I prefer Tom's blue skirt.

Oh my our babies are growing up.

I like T's better too. I wonder if he'd swap with me. I'm so not an autumn...

I laughed out loud at the first line translation! Great work Matthew, clever boy!

I'm impressed with Ryan's pink skirt and what looks to be a lovely shade of lipstick!! :) My, my, he is a new age boy!!

What a lovely picture.

I am more taken with your brown top, my what big muscles you have ;), oh, and lovely legs, almost as good as Ellie's.

Glad to hear that Matthew had a great day.

Tom's is denim, no? Very nice.

I love the picture, Shannon, and very eagerly await getting similar from my own boy. There is something infinitely cool about the drawings they do.

You hair looks a bit flash, too. :)
