…today you begin pre-primary…five days a week…all day…
our early morning beach frolicking must come to an end, with much sadness, as now the mornings will rush into breakfast (no more stopping at the fruit man in the car park) and school clothes (no more lazing around in our swimmers until lunch) and watching the clock (no more “wow - is that the time?”) and plaits with clips (oh how i will miss the beach hair)…
i hope you will remember the sticky sand and the wind in our voice laughs and the overly friendly dogs…
i hope you will remember when we laid on our towels and closed our eyes and listened to the ocean…
i hope when you are a young woman, with a family, you realise and understand why i worked - every day- and this is the first summer we began our tradition…
i hope each summer from here on is filled with more laughter than you can possibly imagine and less sand on your bottom…
i hope next summer i return to a size 10 and a red polka dot bikini (oops…did i say that out loud?)
and to our dear sweet lucy (”kyles - puullleeaase no more photos of me on the blog”) who begins her first day of high school - even though it seems only yesterday she happily posed for portraits…you go girl!
wedding blog posts just around the corner…promise…
