first day, second year

I wasn’t nearly as emotional as last year, but as I drove him to Montessori I did start thinking about next year. Next year he’ll wear a uniform, meet new friends, have a new teacher, spend more days at school than at home. I may have cried (just a bit).

    Beautiful boy, beautiful bag, beautiful home.

    I cried today singing 'Calico Skies' to Jude along with Paul McCartney. Mums can be such saps. Wouldn't have it any other way.

    It doesn't get any easier I am sure. Charlie turned 6 yesterday, all day I felt teary – 6 seems such a huge number for my little boy. Have a great day school little Che… Rufus has that back pack and lunchbox, but the blue dog one. CUTE! x

    yes. the preschooler is back at day care too for his last year before school. but I have to admit I've been so distracted with the new addition that I haven't been too bothered…now when it's her turn to go I'm thinking it will be a different story!

    He is just too gorgeous your boy. If we weren't homeschooling I know for a fact I'd be teary! How do you find Montessori? If we go back to school we'll try a Montessori school for our Belle. She would benefit very much from it I think. You're doing a wonderful job mama and that little man is living proof! xxx

    Yes, I know exactly where you are coming from Jodi. I already get butterflies thinking of 'big school' next year. Pulls on every last heart string. Such a gorgeous pic of your little guy :o) xo

    Lalalalalalala – I'm not listening!

    If I ignore it, time will stop & these precious wee ones won't get so grown up, so fast!

    our 7yo son enjoyed pre-school so much that on his first day of kindy he flew right into the room + didn't even kiss mummy (who WAS teary-eyed). i still think of the wonderful staff at pre-school. every year he looks forward to his new teacher, new school gear, new everything. it's going too fast for my liking though 🙂

    So adorable! Hope he has a super day! My Pearl also has that lunchbox, but the owl one! They must be very popular!

    Awww Jodi! He is such a gentleman! I love his backpack, Abi has the pink mouse version.

    She started her 1st year at pre-school last week. I cried, on and off, all day. When I went to collect her, SHE cried because she didn't want to come home, in fact, she wanted to sleep at pre-school from now on.

    Next year will be HUGE, but at least it's 12 months away 😉

    I will definitely cry when my son goes off to school – it will be the first time he'll have more influence from other people than he will from us.
    btw – where is your gorgeous kitchen/cooker from? I love it!
