Blog Love – Jo Beaufoix “First Day at School”

Posted on 5 Sep 2009 | 1 comment

The first day of school – we’re all looking at it this time of year. Whether you have a big ole 10 yr old headed into Yr 6 (4th Year Juniors to me – will I ever stop converting?) for his very last year in primary school, strutting around being king of the playground, smiling benevolently at the ‘little ones’ . Or you have a scary-big 4 year old, just heading into Reception (Bottom Infants…) for the very first time – First Day Back is always a big thing.

I look at the receptioners all lined up with their mostly shiny-new pressed uniform (spot the ones with older siblings wearing lived-in school jumpers), and they seem so mall. Yet, I remember watching all three of mine on their first days, and wondering how the hell they got so big when my back was turned. Ella’s two years off her own First Day, but I am well aware it’ll be here before we know it.

So this week’s Blog Love goes to Jo Beaufoix – a blog we love to follow, and this weeks post about her youngest daughters first day at school just melted me.
