I can hardly believe it, but The Max has officially started school. He is officially a Big Boy. It’s only half days, but still. He’s so proud of himself and so excited. He’s been waking up every day at 7:30 (and trust me, that’s big news. He’s like Mommy — he’s not a morning person).
- Look, Mommy, I have my very own book bag!
He really loves it. And me, I get some writing time in the morning now! This week is still kind of unusual though — my husband’s mother is visiting and he’s taken off work, so it’s not “business as usual” around here by any means. But great for Tony, since he can actually have a chance to walk The Max to school (it’s just around the corner from our flat, which is AWESOME).
The Max also has his very own blog (and twitter) now. Kinda crazy, I know.
Never said I was sane, did I?
As for me, I’m working on the FINAL revision pass on Cat Girl’s Day Off. I am attempting to add some more Impending Doom per editorial order. Just about done.

Lol, no you arent sane
He is so adorable
Cool
You did well with him getting a school just round the corner – our Bill has a 30 minute commute door-to-door (leave house 07:55, walk to bus stop, wait for bus, wait some more, get in bus, bus sits in traffic jam, get off bus, walk up hill to school, arrive 08:25). That’s what we get for buying a house in Tooting, long before we had a child – nearest good school we could get him into is in Wimbledon.
The poor guy also has a 9+ hour day before we pick him up from ‘after school club’ a bit before 6pm. He seems to cope ok – he’s been at nursery until 6pm for 3 years already – but I’d certainly prefer a shorter day for him. Might make him calmer and less inclined to throw my precious D&D minis around the room!
I know, I love being able to walk there so quickly!
I’m thinking about maybe doing one full day a week for Max. We’ll see.
