First Day of School for 2010...

Timothy in his new uniform, waiting for the school bus...

Yesterday was a huge day in our home, not only was Joshua going off to school on his own but also that Timothy was starting Year 8. High School... How did that happen so quickly???

I had been fretting quite a bit about it all, especially as the holidays drew to a close. He is 13 next Sunday but still so young. The questions... Would he be OK? Could he cope? Would he make friends? Would others think him different and treat him accordingly? Will he cope with the long day, especially the trips on the bus morning and afternoon...

He came home yesterday afternoon and stated he had had a fantastic day... He found 3 x 5 cent pieces and one 20 cent piece. He was wrapped. Kids called him a scab. He had no idea what that meant. He asked a kid that he said looked nice and didn't care about the meaning. He was determined to get the money. hehe Russell said he would be rich by the time he left school at this rate. That notion pleased Timothy no end. :)

Joshua didn't get to go to school first up as he had his Pre Op appointment at the Hospital. He is having a procedure done called: Resection of the Turbinates. Some of the filters in his nose are being cut out... Not a pretty picture and normally only done with adults but he really needs this done. The operation was to have been done on Friday but he has been moved from the Registrar list to the Specialist list. The top head honcho is looking after him apparently. It should be done within the next month. He loved the rest of his day though.

All in all the boys had a fantastic day. I am relieved that it went so well for Timothy but am still in the dark about allot of things. This will change as we get to know what happens at the school. Is certainly very different from when I went to High School. Mind you that was 1984-88...
