Our normal is changing…

It’s that time of year again when I always start to feel excited, nervous, proud and sad all at the same time and I give a little sigh and shed a little tear and say ‘where has the summer gone?’.  The boys are about to go back to school, Harry will be doing more days at Poppets, Jez is back to early starts and late finishes at work and I am now doing one day a week in yr6 – so our normal is changing again and although it feels good to get back to some kind of routine and challenge it also feels a little bit scary.

The boys have all grown in independence over the summer holiday and generally they are helpful and kind, responsible and respectful and are confident yet still unsure.  They’re sharpening their emotional voice and are loving and sensitive so mostly I feel quite confident and satisfied that they have the tools to rock out being at school or at pre school on their own.

However that doesn’t stop me from feeling a bit anxious for them and wanting the start of their school year to be special, perfect and stress free.  Their uniforms are perfectly ironed with their name tags all in and for the first day they will have a special packed lunch and we will arrive for school early and I will be waiting eagerly at the end of the school day with a big smile on my face.  This is my way of trying to pack them full of confidence, bravery and love from us at home, enough love to make them feel secure, happy and confident in their new situations.

I have told each one of them to be yourself because you are amazing and I have reminded them to work hard, have fun and be nice to people.  I hope they have fun and inspiring teachers and that they grow in their depth and understanding of the world and that they become more considerate and compassionate, logical and imaginative.  But most of all I just wish them a happy school year with their friends because I know one thing for sure if they are happy everything else should just fall into place.

So tomorrow Jamie, Ollie and Sam will cross over with Mike the lollipop man, go through the school gates and head off to their new classrooms and I will have a warm and genuine smile as I wave them off because they are all ready for their respective challenges.  Harry, Archie and I will then meet with friends and catch up on everyone’s news but we’ll then return home and it will be quieter and less chaotic and there will be less interruptions and I’ll realise once again how much I have enjoyed having all our boys around us.  Bring on the next holiday….

Good luck to all our friends and their children and our teacher friends who are starting or going back to school.  We wish you an amazing year full of fun!
