He's actually just coming up to 4, so still 3. Over here, they have kindergarten the year they turn 4, then Prep, then grade 1 and so on. Prep is full time school in the place of pre-school which used to be a 5 day fortnight program centred more around play than learning. It's all about using those early years for greater learning. Not sure if I'm on board with it or not, but I guess I will have a better opinion after Max completes Prep next year.

He loved his first day. Can't wait to go back next week, so that's a win for all of us.

The big boys are back at school again now too of course. Aden is in yr 12, so last year of formal schooling for him. Hopefully he'll follow through with his plans and get into the uni course he wants next year. Mav is in yr 11 and so far is most impressed with his new subject, Film and Media. So anyway, everyone's doing well except Eva who is teething and driving me nuts.
