It's back to school time

Today (14 June) is Ben's first day in his new school, Claret Child Study Center. I went with him today (and will accompany him again tomorrow). As usual, the kid was very hyper. I guess it's the excitement of the new school year (yeah, wait a few more years...).
His section is Maamo (not exactly a very apt description of him), and there are 14 of them in his class. I just can't remember how many girls (I think there are five). Seems like he's already made a new friend, as one of the boys and him were playing together for some time during the play period.
Of course, when circle time came, he couldn't sit still. He stood up a lot, and then laid down on the floor. He did participate though while the teacher was reading a Blue's Clues book (small wonder).
I'm posting the picture I took before he went to school today next to the one I took of him during the first day of school last year, just to compare. My, he has grown.
