So it begins - today was the day. It is so weird to now have a school child. How fast that time has come, and how quickly he has matured in such a short few months. One day he was heading off to daycare for the last time as being a big fish in a small pond, and then the following day he was let loose into an ocean. It is an ocean of knowledge where he will learn and grow his personality, his friendships, his identity and how he fits into this world. I'm not dwelling on it too much otherwise I might cry at the prospect that my baby is now no longer a baby, and even though he stopped being a baby some years ago it still felt like he was not yet a big boy whilst he was attending the same daycare he's been at since he was 8 months old. But now...
Whilst we waited this morning for the powhiri to begin...
...and then it was time for him to go and start his new adventure.
I'm happy to report that he loved his first day at school! He's got a few friends that were from his daycare, so he was happy to meet up with them again. Hooray for firsts.
