Ross celebrated his first day of school last week! 📚🍎⭐️✏️

“Hi there, I just wanted to share a photo of Ross from his first day at school this morning. Ross spent just under 2 weeks in NICU and SCBU after being born a little early in 2019. That likely would have been a lot longer had we not spent 3.5 weeks in the maternity hospital being cared for prior to his birth. We cannot thank you all enough for looking after our little boy so wonderfully, and playing such a vital role in helping him to become the strong boy he is today. ❤️ x

Well done Ross! We hope you had a great first day! 🥰⭐️
