A sun Beam

Julia has been ready for a change for a long time. It doesn't really help when you are one of the oldest girls in nursery, not to mention one of the tallest one too.

Since we were in Ecuador, she had to wait until the 23rd of January to go to Primary for the first time.

I had so many mixed emotions that week. I was confident she was going to deal well with the transition. Julia is so sweet and easy going that I had not doubt she was going to enjoy that first day in Sun Beams.

Me on the other hand I am a hormonal wreck. 

the day went perfect!!! I felt so blessed to be called as a sunbeams teacher that same week.

I got to be in the same room as her and witness my little girl's eye sparkle when they sang her favorite song. She smiled very proudly when she sang and she realized she knew all the words to it.
I saw how good and reverent she was behaving. I even saw her shy eyes and her cheeks turn rosy red when she was called up to the front of the class to play a game.

 

This was a big day for Josh as well, all by himself in nursery. NO big sister to help him or that unconditional play mate sitting next to him ready to entertain him, nothing at all just him.

My biggest concern with him was that he usually gets scared when he doesn't have a familiar face around. He loves to feel safe,which is easier to feel when you have someone you trust near you.

But how silly of me to worry! I guess that is just what parents do, right?.

Spencer dropped him off in nursery that day and not a pip was heard of him until it was time to pick him up. He came out thrilled to have his coloring page on his hands and handle it to us so we could see it.

Thanks kids for making this change so easy on us, We love you both
