Well kinda; he started school today! Unlike the images you see on the TV news with kids sobbing as their parents leave them at the gate on their first day, Eli was very enthusiastic and ran ahead of us as we walked into the school yard.
He's very proud of his uniform; particularly of his shiney black shoes, which tend to make a mighty clangor on the floorboards in our house in the morning.
The whole process of starting class was over in a matter of minutes. He got a badge, put his bag down and was escorted into the classroom by a senior school member.
Of course, I took plenty of photos, and here's my favourite one below:
C'mon Dad... can we just go?
After school, I rang him up at home to ask how it was. He was in a very animated mood, and very expressive in everything he told me... and when I asked if Miss Parker was nice, he answered "Yes! She's lovelier than a rose!"
Ready for tomorrow? You bet!
