End of An Era

This is Aaron's last week at nursery, which only serves as a huge reminder that September is round the corner. #b4Sept

Yes I am finding that incredibly tough.

But the wonderful thing is, nursery now is great. Where my son would always cry every year at the Xmas Concert and this year I had to sit on stage with him, here, he stayed up on stage beautifully, and went up for his certificate at the end. He even played the part of one of the men in the song Flying Saucer.

So if you have ever considered changing your child's nursery or school, I would say think long and hard about it. Don't ignore your gut instincts, as it may be the best thing you ever do. He's like a different boy.

Very proud Mummy today - well done Aaron.

I won't say much more as we are back there for a party this afternoon, so I need to have lunch. The concert was this morning and as Wednesday isn't one of his nursery days, we came home afterwards, and will then go back for the party. As he is in my care today, I get to go too. Hoorraaah!

Bye for now, enjoy the postcard above,

  1. I have worked in several nurseries - some good, some just awful. I would have to agree with you Liska. You never know what is happening at these places and if your child no longer seems like your child, definitely change nurseries.

  4. I'm dreading the solo walk home come September when my youngest starts school. I'm trying to look on the bright side by planning a schedule with time for a walk, yoga and writing, but to be honest it's still going to be tough.

  5. I still have another year before we start school and even now I'm feel slightly mixed about it. Trying to think how much he'll love it but without fretting about how he'll do. Good luck for sept! x

  8. My son finishes nursery tomorrow and moves onto the school nursery in September. I know the school nursery is more about learning than playing as they want the kids to be able to read and write once they start school. I don't think he is going to like that!

  17. I had to change the nursery for my son a few times. I just didn't like the way he acted when I left him in the morning and when I came to take him home. The third one was the charm and it was such a happiness see how he loved to play with his friends and enjoyed time with his teacher.

    1. Thanks Joanna you have hit the nail on the head. He now also plays with friends and has really bonded with the teachers. He has a completely bouncier spring in his step than ever before. x

  21. I think that you do have to go with your instincts sometimes, especially when your children are involved - have a great summer!
