The Fox

Ben told me this morning that he wanted to give all the money in his piggy bank to "the fox that runs on one leg". He means Canadian legend, Terry Fox. He'll be participating in The Terry Fox Run at school at the end of the month.

Ben has had a great first week in senior kindergarten!

Ben's still on a full day/alternate day schedule this year, and so far so good. No tears at all and has told me he's had good days. He was quite happy after his first day at school. He has the same teacher and some of the kids in his class are the same. The other night when I was tucking him into bed he told me that this year school was 'different' and that he 'felt braver'. I'm sure it helps not being the absolute youngest (with a two year gap in some cases)!

Here are a few pics from the morning of his first day:
