First day at school

The new school is open, although work is still going on, and some kids have been there for a few days. You went in and saw familiar faces and were perfectly happy. When we entered the classroom, first you got a pen and drew a picture, signing it, then you wrote "Welcome to King's Cross Academy" on a small chalk board. The head saw it and said he should have got you to do some signs since they had none for the front of the school. He didn't need to ask twice - but he didn't realise you'd take him at his word. You wrote a couple of signs on A4, then asked one of the staff - Christine - to give them to him. (He was gone.)
You had folded them up and she didn't know what they were. Luckily, he came back and you gave them to him yourself. Because you had written on the outside of the folded paper too, he thought they were small paper so had to be encouraged to open them up. When mummy and daddy left the building not long afterwards, they were already on the reception desk. When we picked you up, we got a snap of you and one of your signs. (You have history, with signs all over your nursery too.)
