Today was Matthews first day at nursery (Busy Bees Southport).

I had him last night until this morning and although I personally felt very I’ll, the wonder of children is you instantly forget your own feelings and concentrate on theirs.

His mother collected him for his first day at Nursery around 9.30 am, you could see how excited even she was, wiping away any dirt on his face from breakfast, putting on his shoes and socks and combing his hair.
Nursery is he next major mile stone in Matthews fast and impressive development. I look forward to collecting him and hearing the feedback from the guys and girls that run the place.
He is already responding to his name, throwing the large ball accross the room, climbing and standing without any difficulty. At almost 11 months I can already see a bright and beautiful young boy.

His first day went very well, unfortunatly I didn’t witness this personally (the downside to parents seperating I suppose) but I did get this nice update from mum after the session.

“He’s done really well considering he hasn’t slept yet. He was too excited and playing earlier which stopped him from being tired but now its lunch and he’s not overly interested in food due to needing a kip. Tomorrow I will make sure he has a kip before hand / allow him to sleep at the nursery so they can see eating and sleeping habits properly. However they have commented at how happy he is and how they think I will have no troubles with matthew settling in to the new surroundings/ people. I’m really happy with this nursery and staff so far.

I’m a very proud father today!

My good friend Steve holds Matthew (1 month). He also drops him for a giggle.
