Toto started high school today. He has gone from his local primary school, which is within walking distance, to a Cathedral College in the centre of the city. And I swear the boy I caught public transport into the city with this morning, was a young man when he arrived home.

Oh wow, he does look all grown up. He's a young man!
Such a big step (for both of you). He does look happy (and so cute in the kindy shot). Glad it went well.
Kids grow up SO fast.
Congratulations to you guys!
Why do they have to keep growing up so fast?! Don't they know it makes us feel old?!
Congratulations Toto!
Congratulations on a great first day Toto!
I hope Boo loves his new class this year. Blossom loves hers.
Wow.
It is a huge step, especialy for we highschool mums!
Glad he loved it. Mine did too.
Congratulations!!!
Toto is obviously not in Kansas anymore (wizard of oz reference I hope you aussies get)
He is adorable. The high school girls must be very happy today.
Thanks everyone!
And yes, Boo loves his class, M. He's with all of his friends and seems to like his teacher too (even though I didn't like him when he taught Toto).
Lorrie... there are NO GIRLS in Toto's new school!! A big change for him! And we Aussie's understand the Wizard of Oz reference, although Toto's nickname actually came from an African word for "Baby".
I often wish I had ruby slippers to click together. *sigh*
Wow. What a milestone. I'll be facing that this time next year. Not sure I'm quite up to it!
Congrats to Toto - very very exciting and thrilled he loved it! J xox
Congratulations Toto and Fe :-) He looks so grown-up in his new uniform.
I LOVE those photos of him in Martin Pl. He looks calm and ready for what is ahead of him. And I'm not caught up on your posts but I wanted to add that speaking with the principal would be a great idea, even just to let them know that there is family court stuff going on involving him and that he is feeling very effected by it. They will definitely have a pastoral care programme and maybe even a school counsellor. Best of luck - this all sounds incredibly difficult.
