First day of secondary school

 I'm not sure the reality of this has set in.  Bug was 70% excited, 30% nervous, left me the last few minutes of the walk and came out of school at the end of the day with the biggest grin on his face saying his new school is "amazing".  Plus summer has finally sprung so the walk to and from school was in the most glorious weather. And we marked the end of the day with a trip to the Bubble Tea shop.  Not sure you can ask for better than that.


All the cliches of "how did he get so old" have been said but actually, for me, I'm so bowled away by this boy every day, seeing him get to experience a new school and take it all in his stride with openness feels the most natural thing in the world. 


It turns out Bean was actually the saddest one.  It'll take awhile for him to get his head around not having his big brother at the same school as him and the reality of them heading in different directions each day. 

Looking sparky at 7:20am

So grateful for how close these two are

Setting off on his own

Heading off solo for the last part
Solo end to the walk 

All smiles for pick up
