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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteyes. 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!
ReplyDeleteHe 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
ReplyDeleteYes, 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
ReplyDeleteLalalalalalala - I'm not listening!
ReplyDeleteIf I ignore it, time will stop & these precious wee ones won't get so grown up, so fast!
*plants head firmly in the sand*
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 :)
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! Hope he has a super day! My Pearl also has that lunchbox, but the owl one! They must be very popular!
ReplyDeleteI am in love with his penguin book bag! Awe, good luck little guy! I hope this is another great year for you all! :))
ReplyDeleteAwww Jodi! He is such a gentleman! I love his backpack, Abi has the pink mouse version.
ReplyDeleteShe 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.
ReplyDeletebtw - where is your gorgeous kitchen/cooker from? I love it!
He is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteRonan starts one day at pre school this year. Two weeks to go...I will be a mess.
such a big boy now ... i love those little pants che is wearing. would you mind me asking where you got them? sarah
ReplyDeleteGood looking boy.
