He says he doesnt know whether to play with Connor or his own friends at playtime tomorrow. Im dreading it. I was dreading today too, his leavers assembly. It was fantastic!They did Grease, it was very funny. Kieran somehow managed to get into most scenes, he was brilliant. Three teachers came up to me this week to say how funny he is in it and how good. At the end of the show, the headmistress and his teacher gave out pens and a funny book to each child.When it was Kieran's turn, she said " here's our comedy genius". Brilliant. Im very proud of him.I just about managed to get to the end without crying, but it was a very close thing.

I'll tell you what folks, Kieran is quite the whizz on Disney trivia. If it wasn't for UKFAN, bloona's not so little one would probably be the LP champ at each Christmas bash. Please give him all our love, especially Mikey's!
Originally Posted By bloona aw, thank you so much. What lovely things to say. SMILING. Going to pick him up from school soon, he is wearing his white shirt, so they can all sign it as a momento. They do that every year with the leavers. Will take my camera, and a tissue!

Luckily he didnt cry, a lot of his friends did. He did when he read out a lovely letter his teacher gave him though saying good luck for the future etc though. I put some photos together for you to see.

Originally Posted By bloona mmmmmmmmmm, one of the comments writted in red at the front is a bit...ummmmm...silly, he said that he told people that they could write whatever they wanted, where as some were giving strict instructions on what could be written...lol.
Originally Posted By gardenrooms He sounds and looks like a great little guy! Thanks you for sharing. I love the shirt idea. Wish I had thought of it when my DS was growing up. They grow up so fast, but each stage is special in its own way. My "baby" is now 25, and we still have a great time together - we just don't get as much of him any more (so I had to go back to school to become a teacher to cure my "empty nest" syndrome). How old are children when they graduate from junior school? What's the next level? Does he have a bit of vacation now before moving on? What a joy!

Originally Posted By bloona ^^ he played with everyone....lol He now has 5 weeks holiday from school,not sure how we are going to fill that. He has 3 days next week (at the senior school he will be starting at in Septemeber) doing a cricket training course. Then we have a few days booked to visit my friends in Essex. But other than that???????? Times like this when I regret not learning to drive! Once at the senior school, he will be there for 5 years, then after that???? Thanks for asking.And for the comments. Im showing him them all by the way.

Originally Posted By bloona That would be lovely Dave, hope we can organise that! 5 weeks does not FEEL a short time...lol.
