Today was Toby’s last day at pre-school. We thought it was his last day at pre-school last year but oh-no, we moved across the pond and he did it all again.
Across this additional year he has progressed very well though. His writing is very good, he recognizes his letters, can count to infinity and nine and make wonderful pictures and arty, crafty stuff!
In this post we find out what really happened this year from Toby’s perspective through a series of challenging questions! All answers are his.

So there we go. I’m sure we all feel much closer to Toby and the experience he has had this past year now that he opened up to us. Sometimes emotional, sometimes funny, often deep and occasionally sad but always very insightful and revealing. Thanks Toby. And thanks for making friends with someone who wears knitted versions of every piece of clothing – most amusing!
