eeeek!!
I am super excited as I love the holidays. But once again it is bittersweet. Fraser has 2 days left at Primary School.
Only 2 days.
I remember so vividly 7 years ago, feeling so emotional about him only having a few days left at nursery before starting at the big school. He was so tiny, so funny and so utterly ready to move on. I was not ready. I missed him so much when he went to school for his full days, 9am - 3pm is such a long day! I must find some pictures of tiny Fraser to show off on here. I will have to scan them or something as he is so old , digital cameras were super rare ;-) and all I have are real true photos of my firstborn.
As if it isn't hard enough to have one child making a momentous move, Kirsten is also moving on up. Thankfully she isn't starting school this year. I am so grateful that I don't have to deal with that as well! I would be a mess!! But she is leaving Playgroup. A place she has loved and thrived in for almost 2 years. I was wreck in those first few days , but K was ready.
wow she looks like such a baby!
Just as she is more than ready again to be moving on. She is bright and confident and happy and I am sure she will thrive and love Nursery and all of the new friends that she will meet there.
I am not ready. It is like a mantra! Why am I always lagging behind? I love the ages they are at.We have so much fun together , I don't wish they were babies again, I just feel like I am not ready to let go of who they are right now.
But this is life. This is what being a parent is all about I guess, trying to worry enough for everyone so that the really important souls can hop and skip their way into their new lives without even looking back.
But whether I am ready or not, we are running headlong into summer and all that lies beyond it.

I know EXACTLY what you are saying, Hun.
I went through those same emotions aswell..I still go through it. My oldest is 12 and my youngest is 10. It's going to fast now and Im struggeling to keep up with everything. Im excited to see them grow up but I still want to pull back and enjoy these times with them.
They are on summer vacation a week from tomorrow. They only get 6 weeks off here..how long do they get there?
They get 6 weeks here too Sonja. I am glad I am not Alone in these feelings, it really does go too fast xx
I've just had to pack away my baby's moses basket, his baby bath and tiny newborn clothes this week and it has broken my heart! He's 3 months old already and it feels like my little baby boy is slipping through my fingers like sand in an hourglass!!
My only comfort is to try to give him roots and wings! -
- knowing he will have the best, safest place full of love in the world to live in and belong to! And the happiness, confidence and love to go off out into the world to live, explore and enjoy every brand new day!!
If I can try to do my best and be half the mummy you are Leeann I'll be happy!!! Be proud of yourself and cherish every second xxxxxx love you xxxxx
