The letter

Yesterday we got the letter regarding Ben's admission to school in September.  He got the school we wanted!  Its the school that Susanna goes to, and also the school for which we are in "catchment," so I'd have been surprised if he didn't get in, but you never know...

He will start in September and go from 8:50 until 12.  My understanding is that he will start full days after Christmas.  (I'm not entirely sure because his birthday is near the cut-off for that term, and I'm not certain which side it falls on.  If it falls on the other side, he won't start full days until after Easter.)

Because his preschool is just next door to the primary school, he will probably know most of the kids in his class when he starts.  That will be helpful since it will be a full class - 30 kids!

We can also start thinking about buying his uniform, but I know if we buy the tie now, he won't be able to wait and will want to wear it everyday!

That is so cute, he has to wear a tie to school! Wait until I tell my boys that! They don't even wear a tie to church! :)

Ben will do well in school. I'm sure he will be excited.

Ben will look so cute. You need to put up some pictures of in his uniform when he gets it. Now Susanna, Ben, and I will be dressed alike every day for school!
