Starting preschool

Dino Boy started preschool this week.
But where have the years gone… my little boy…. big enough for preschool!

His first fluttering of his wings and before I know it, he will be fully fledged

We bought his school bag {a dino one of course} and hat…
I planned what to pack for his lunches {using wonderful reusable ‘packaging’ from a lovely blogging friend}
{not these ones, but similar!}
I made his indoor slippers to keep his toes warm and snug {using this pattern}
And the day before he started… when he was a little worried we drove over to his preschool to acquaint ourselves and explore
His lovely teacher welcomed us to the classroom and he wandered about, touching this and that moving faster and faster ~ alive to the excitement of change
And on the morning of his first day the moment he woke… he asked if we could go yet *smile*
As we walked down the path to his classroom his little hand slipped from mine. And he turned excitedly to the child walking near us
Hello! What’s your name? Are you in my class?
And clasping her hand they ran down the path
We watched them flitter around the beautiful play garden
~ Excitement and happiness ~
And as his teacher drew them all inwards he hastened to join them
Only at the last, turning to his dad and I…with a smile

Bittersweet… happy days

Getting ready for school



We are excitedly starting to get ready for Max to start preschool next year.

But I can’t help but wonder ~ where did the time go? How can my little boy be old enough!

Luckily I know he is going to love school.

He is such a friendly, sociable lad… eager to muck in with the other kids

To try new things and chat *contented sigh*

And looking around his lovely classroom and meeting his teacher. It just feels right

He will continue to be nurtured. But be able to spread his wings just that little bit.

Knowing how his day will unfold has helped…

The day starts with outside play
Before circle time inside
Next will be eurythmy or drawing {on his days anyway}
A wholesome morning tea
Story time
Recharging with lunch & a rest
And finishing up with outside play and afternoon tea

The class will also go on walks… and celebrate the seasons with festivals *smile*

Inside me I can feel the excitement building for his first day…
…just like I used to feel about returning to school after the holidays *smile*

But where, oh where have the years gone!



Warmly, Kelly
