The Gallery – Black and White

Modified: Jan 24, 2022 · Published: Jul 17, 2011 by admin · This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content

Today is my little boy’s last day of nursery before he starts ‘big school’ in 3 weeks time. It seems like a momentous occasion, and one that will totally pass him by.

When I picked him up yesterday he was running around happily with his friends so totally engrossed in playing ‘Ben 10’, that he didn’t notice Baby H and I watching. Despite all his protestations about not wanting to go to nursery I think secretly he really enjoys it.

Deep down I know that Reception year is just an extension of nursery and there will be plenty more running around the garden with the boys, but still I feel a bit sad for him, and sad for me. My baby boy is growing up.

    It goes very quick doesn’t it! Kieran starts his second year at school in a few weeks which seem just absolutely ridiculous in some ways. Sad as it is to get to the end of an era, each new one has something special of it’s own too.
    Lovely post and a great picture!

      Thats what stops me from feeling sad, knowing that the next stage will be just as fantastic. x

      Yes, I think I will be very sad when my youngest goes to school. I’ve got another 3 years! x

    Awwww, my youngest would be starting big boy school too had I stayed over there. As it is over here in the States, he has one more year of it until kindergarten begins. Lovely photo.

      I didn’t realise it was different. How old will he be when he starts school then?

    Love that Batman jacket. They really grow so quickly dont they? My LO is only 8 months but yesterday he was 2 months old. And he’s trying to pull himself up, how can this be!

    Great pic, its amazing how quickly the time flies. Poppy is off to pre-school in Sept but its in a small village school down the road and the 3-5 year olds are all in together. She even has to wear a uniform so it feels like she is off to School too xx

    Love the batman cape. My son started his second yr at nursery today which I guess is the reception class down south. It’s crazy how fast they grow up!

    Oh blimey – you just made me feel really emotional. Thought I was cool about my daughter starting reception but I bet I feel different on the day. Love the batman costume too!

    Loving the new look hun!

    Gorgeous photo and a lovely post which made me have tears in my eyes. MC starts play school next month and I’m emotional about that x

    • admin

      In some ways play school is probably harder, if you’ve never had to leave them before. She’ll love it though! x

    They say children are only lent to us and sometimes the time does go too fast for us mums. I remember that leaving nursery day well and how tearful I felt even though my son was loving the leavers’ picnic. Many more special memories to come though

      I’m sure there will be! x
