    Another excited bunch here! Ds1 just cannot wait to go to big school and its all he talks about. There wont be any tears here but he has been in preschool for 3 years so it wont be a big step to go 5 days a week. He definately should have gone this year, he's been driving me crazy but missed the cutoff by 6 weeks.

    Ive been putting off getting his uniforms because he has grown so much but we wont be back from Europe until the week before school starts and I dont want to be rushing so might have to buy one size bigger and hope that lasts!

    Yup my DS is off to school in 2012 also. He's super duper excited and it's all he ever talks about too!! Alot of his friends from preschool are going to the same school, although I've asked him to not be in a class with a certain boy who is always getting DS into trouble. They can still play in the playground together, I just don't want this certain kid distracting him from learning, and possibly vice versa. I want DS to understand that school is about learning first and foremost, and socliasing is secondary.

    I've ordered his uniforms but don't get them until the week of 16 January, and if they don't fit they have ordered bulk stock so will be able to exchange on the day. We find out his teacher and class next week which is really exciting!

    How much are everyone's book lists? Ours is $175.00 eeeeeek! Wondering if I should use the reccommended company or see if I can do it on the cheap myself?
