Sports Day 2016

‘To pay attention -this is our endless and proper work’ Mary Oliver.

Time is a thief! Today I celebrated watching my first school sports day, entirely on my own – no newborn baby in a buggy to rock, no toddler to feed snacks to and no pre schooler to do the pre school race.  And I’m so proud of all our boys, who keep on growing up and reaching new milestones and making their own path into the world  while I clap and cheer for them – half wanting them to slow down and half being insanely proud of everything they are doing.

I have so many school sports day memories – good and bad! Bringing Harry to Ollie’s first sports day when he was less than 24 hours old and having to help Sam in the toddler race, wheeling the buggy up and down the edge of the track, one hand balancing the video camera , watching Ollie stomp off in a strop across the field, Jamie coming in 2nd in his 400metre race, seeing Winchester finally win the cup and being sad that Ollie wasn’t there to lift the cup as sports captain, pimms and strawberries, blaring heat to umbrellas up, cheering my children’s names loud and proud, Jamie looking terrified in class R when he stood on the line, Ollie with his miniature teddy and then missing the go as he was too busy talking to the supporters, tunnel ball, bean bag relay, under cover breast feeding, cuddling babies and desperate exhaustion from trying to balance it all but over all such happy, happy memories.

….. and then here I stand today- fully rested, no snot, no milk on my shoulder, no baby to rock and no toddler to chase and I am loving this next stage but it is so, so true- time passes so quickly.  I’m so pleased I was able to enjoy it all.

All the boys- big and small got an extra squeeze tonight.
