Im so proud of my lil guy. He did his very best to hold in the tears, and he managed right up til it was time for me to say Bye and give him a kiss. Thats when Niagra Falls exploded. I know some kids go off happily (as do some mums)...but i knew it would be hard for Sam and i. We have a very unique bond, he's the chips, im the gravy, you know, we go together :)
I tried my best in the tears department too...but who am i kidding i was a big sooky lala the minute i was out of his sight.
BUT im sure he is having a ball and has made soooo many new friends. I cant wait to pick him up and hear all about it (and give him the hugest hug and kiss ever).
Heres my boy looking all grown up :)
Now I snuck this picture in when he wasnt looking...A quiet moment with 'Stinky' before he had to leave.(Stinky is his toy giraffe that he's had since he was a baby)
So to keep myself busy today ive been tweakin a little bit around the house.
I had painted this arm chair white a few months ago and popped a rosie pink cover on it, but it needed a bit more of a tweak, a bit more white maybe...
A bed skirt and some pretty cushions and its done. Oh and No before you ask, im not going to iron that bed skirt..LOL ..i hate ironing and plus its too darn hot (and im sticking with that excuse i think).
So thats been my day.....only 1 more hour till i can pick Sam up.....buts who's counting hey :)
Im sure that now he's at school i'll be paintin' and tweakin' up a storm here !
I think Shane has already made me a list! LOL.
I hope all your kids, grandkids, nieces, nephews etc are enjoyng being back at school.
And PLEASE will someone tell me im not the only mum who's sad and crying like a big ole baby....
Love and Pink Kisses

Hi Shann, it is so exciting when 'our babies' start school. For me it is just as much fun when my grandbabies start. Today was Chloe's first day at schhol. She felt so grown up going into school with her big brother Lachlan who this year is in Grade 1!!

Oh, you poor thing!!!! He'll be fine and with wonderful tales to tell you when you pick him up! You'll get used to it! Go shopping if you have to.....
Oh NO ,you are'nt the only one.I shed a tear(or many) with each of my babies(4) You would think I would get used to it by the fourth,but they just look soooo growin up.I'm sure he's having a great day and he wont be able to draw breath from all the excitement

Oh tis hard very hard.
My boy went off for the first day today!
He was a-ok and I felt sad for the new life that will now begin.
But hey I am not big on change.
We had a few Mums sooking so you are'nt alone.
