I'm not quite sure where the last 4 and a half years have gone, but here is my baby starting school yesterday. I apologise for the blurriness of the photos (mummy's hand was shaking a little), but I think the expression shows exactly how we were both feeling about her first day. Apprehensive, but mainly excited.Her day seemed to have gone really well. The teacher has already established that Louisa likes to chat and isn't shy (no surprises there). And when talking about activites she did that day, I commented that it sounded like fun. Her response: "Everything was fun, Mum!'.
I must confess I'm happy that the Prep year here in Qeueensland is play based, and will be similar to the C & K kindy she attended last year. I had been quite casual and unconcerned about her starting because of this, but must admit to some quiet tears on the way back to the car. I'm only just realising that so many of the outings and adventures we've done together and that I've taken for granted will be consigned to school holidays and weekends. 'End of and era' is how one mums' group friend put it, and it sure is!

Suz she looks very excited. Glad it went well. I can't believe how grown up they are all getting
Oh Wow - Look at your BIG little girl. I think that you summed it up wonderfully - the end of an era - and of course making way for another!
Oh Suz, she looks all ready to go! LOL at everything being exciting! Our turn on Monday!
Awww, she looks so happy to be there. You are right though, it is the end of an era, and I really think that these things are harder on the SAHPs than the kids.
She looks gorgeous and excited. So glad everything was fun - hope it stays that way.
Isn't she gorgeous! That smile that belies the nerves is so endearing... glad she had a great first day.
awwwwwwwwwwwww she looks so cute and happy!
