Darley Taster Day

On July 15th Darley Primary School had their taster day for the kids going into Reception (think kindergarten) in September. Enoch knew the uniform since Hilde wears it everyday during the school year, so he demanded to put on dark pants, a white polo, and one of Hilde's jumpers (sweatshirts). We spent almost 3 hours there. He got to go to his classroom, meet his teacher, play with the kids that are there now, meet other kids going there next year, etc. The parents meanwhile met with the headmaster, Mr. Coates. Mr. Coates is a short, fairly young guy and very nice. Hilde (and the other girls at her school I am sure) has a crush on him. He went through the school's values, how things work, etc. Then we gathered Enoch up and ate a school lunch together. Enoch left thrilled to start school in September, so I would consider it a good "taster" of what's to come. Oh, and we did confirm that he will be the cutest kid in his class, no surprise.

I can't believe he is starting school- he is growing up so fast. He will be the cutest boy EVER at that school. Now he can hope for snow days like last year.

He is the cutest ever ever ever and I love that it's called Taster. Everything just has a better name over there.

And where are the pickies of Mr. Coates? I will wait patiently but not forget.
