Day 1500 - Wordless Wednesday

School camp

Off to school camp
Today is Darby's first ever school camp. Just as Tahlia did when she was in year 4, he pushed me away at the bus and didn't look back. No kiss, no hug, no tears, no "see ya Mum".  Just removed himself from me and joined his friends for his big adventure.  And now they're gone.  And I am feeling that weird combination of happy/sad/pride/nerves/fear/reflection/rejection.



The buses are waiting

Getting ready to load the bags and board the bus

And then they drive away .... (sniff)

    How gorgeous is Darby and I love love love his name. (I'm obviously taking note of boys and girls names at the moment).
    School camp - ahhhh the memories. I think I did the same thing to my mum back in the day.

    I bet it was hard to say goodbye :( I'm dreading it, my 'have to know everything' instinct will go into overdrive! Maybe enjoy the break, he'll be 'loving it sick' yes I'm a dork xx

    It must be that time of year. My sister actually rang me yesterday, her son was leaving for camp too. A friends daughter was off the Canberra this week also. Lots of nervous Mummas around Australia this week :)xx
