Max's First Day At School

Max woke up about 8ish this morning and straight away, kept saying that he didnt want to go to nursery and that he was scared.
I kept telling him how fun it would be and how he'd make lots of new friends and he started coming round to the idea.
Once he was in his uniform he was better...
We left our house about 9.10 and walked up to the school.. We got there early (about 9.20) and waited outside. Max was starting to get nervous again so i told him that if he needed anything then he knew his teacher and he could ask her.
The gates opened at 9.30 and in we all went. Max found his peg with a picture of him above it. He hung his bag up and then found the box to put their drinks in. Then he found his tray and put his spare clothes in there.
One of the teachers called him over to play with the play dough and that was it... he was off.
I was in two minds whether to say bye and risk him getting upset or just sneaking out but i didnt have the heart to sneak out so i said goodbye, he gave me a kiss, waved to Alfie and Dru and that was it!
Onthe walk home i felt so emotional! I wanted to cry!
As soon as we walked out of the nursery door Alfie asked where Max was. I told him that Max was staying at nursery and we'd get him later.
ALL MORNING Alfie asked for Max, he even had a tantrum and threw his trainers off the balcony because he wanted Max! (We got the shoes back!)
Then at 11.15 i told Alf we were going to collect Max and his face lit up!
We got to the nursery just before 11.30 and when the gates opened, we went in to get him. They were all sitting in the quiet area and Max's teacher told us he was wearing his spare trousers because he decided to play in the mud and go on the muddy slide
He was all smiles when he came out. He told us that he played in the garden in the mud and on the slide. He said he done the music bells in the garden too.
He said he played with the water and the sand, built with the block, played with play dough, cars and trains and done some drawings.
He said he made a new friend and seemed very impressed that his name was Alfie.
He is very excited to go back tomorrow!

Max's Home Visit

The teachers arrived at about 9.30 this morning and Max went all shy!
His teachers introduced themselves and gave Max his bookstart books. He loved the books straight away and got the pad of paper out and started drawing a picture of himself and happily showed it to his new teachers.
They asked if we had any questions and talked over all the things we needed to know.
Then one of the teachers took his photo to put by his coat peg and then a pic of all 4 of us to put on the "family wall".
Max then went to the fridge and got the chocolate cornflake cakes that he made yesterday and offered them to the teachers.
Max is quite excited about starting now!
We went to the shops after the teachers went and bought Max some new school shoes so he's all set now!

Winnie the Pooh screening at Disney HQ- Thanks Huggies!

We had a great day!
We got to Hammersmith about 12ish and once we were signed in, they took us upstairs where they had big cuddly Pooh, Tigger and Piglet.
They had soooo much food too. EVERY type of sandwich you could imagine, loads of fruit, crisps, cakes and sweets.Lots of drinks too.
At about 1.30ish we were taken into the screening room and we watched the film. Max really enjoyed it! He was giggling and dancing along with the whole film!
When the film finished we were all given a goody bag containing nappies, wipes, tissues, Winnie the Pooh poster, stickers and colouring poster and a beanie of one of the characters.
Max was well chuffed because his favourite was Pooh and he got that in his bag.
The whole way home, Max was talking about the film.
We both had a really good day!
