END ...beggining of half term....

Pheww 6 weeks of school have passed my son who purposely went to school not knowing any of the letters or the spelling of his own name....(yes yes I am not very much into sending kids to school to be bored)...well after only 6 weeks he knows all letters, he writes his name and enjoys school as though he was always there. He loves praying and singing...writing has become a very very exciting and enjoyable task....I am really happy and feel amazingly proud of my Reuben. Who would have thought that he will be so much in his element at school. I have said I should write some of his "golden words and expressions" so I can remember them later....as they are so sweet and thoughtful. The other night we his daddy read him a story and after it finishes Reuben said he wanted to read it himself....well, we were gasping for air when we realised he was memorising nearly every thing we read to him....he slightly rephrased the story but used mostly the same words....wow and that after a long day.
The above photo concludes the 6 weeks in school. It was taken at the Harvest festival at school where I was moved to tears during the serivice and during kid's repertoir. IT was such a heart warming feeling sitting there with Zac hearing them sing.....to God, I was massivley proud that he learns about God, that he has amazing teachers and loving friends. This last week of school before half term we had couple of playdates at the house (very tireing but ....) we are meeting more and more parents and children and again I am really really excited to see what a good class he is in. So now all geared up for half term...some family activities with daddy taking some time off, hopefully enjoying the Harrison's visit on Tuesday and Wednesday (causins Anna, Peter and Simon and aunty Helen and uncle Andrew)...and some swimming and some catching up with friends on Friday.....should be good fun.
