Tom's first full-time week at school

Usual after school activity
So Tom completed his first week of school.  It went well - he came out bouncing and very happy Monday to Thursday.  Once home, he was ravenous so the snacks came out.  Then he demanded a session of cycling on the car park before getting ravenous and tired again.

As a result the routine has changed, we have had to bring dinner time forward to 5.00 and then bath and bedtime forward to 6.00 as he has got so tired.  

He already has reading books (with no words, he just has to turn the pictures into a story) and a sound book which we have to practise (not easy - Tom hasn't worked out the link between sounds and words yet so it can be frustrating). 

Friday didn't go quite as well, unfortunately he did a poo in his pants towards the end of the day (first time in over a year!).  Luckily the staff sorted him out, but he came out quite sad and sorry for himself.  I hope it was just one little accident resulting from the stress of all his new experiences this week.  Fingers crossed...
