From Little Boy to Little Man
Today my little boy started Nursery. I have to admit I was very very sad about this. Even though I work all day the thought of leaving him with someone else is really scary. The thought of him not making friends or being picked on is also frightening. You wrap them up for so long and then expect them to cope with being left alone with total strangers. It's wrong.
Anyway, today at 12:45pm I took Rhys for his first day. I held him so tight as I walked up the path to the doorway. You could see his mood change when he knew the time had come. I whispered a little something in his ear, kissed him and let him go. Rhys said goodbye to me and I walked away.
My heart was in my mouth, but he didn't cry so that was good. I was told to call the School at 2pm to check he was ok. Thankfully Rhys was enjoying himself and all was well.
3.15pm, I literally ran up the path to see my little man. He ran to me shouting DADDY, my heart was back.
I asked him how it was and he said it was really good. He painted me a picture but it was wet so I will have to wait for it.
I am so proud of my little man for being so brave. I love him so much.
Love you Rhys
Daddy

I love you Antony.
There are no words for how touching the bit about your heart being back is. You are one hell of a man and an exceptional dad.
I am proud of both the Leach men
Love and peace

It is hard letting your kids go I remembered the first day I had to drop Jayden off to nursery I cried all the way to work.
Then when he moved up to the pre school room he got upset and again I left there with tears in my eyes.
God knows how I will feel in January when he goes to state nursery I am already dreading it.

I know where you are coming from jiggles. It was a bit easier today when I took him. Still felt the ache in my stomach. I'm sure January will be fine. Our little ones are men know. How sad.
