In a blink...

its over!!! Yesterday Riley 'graduated' from Kindy with his 1st Diploma...hehe!! He is so proud of it (and so am I of him!!).  What a year...can't believe it went so fast.  I had mixed feelings yesterday...so happy and excited for the next chapter in our lives but sad as it means my little boy is growing up.  Riley greeted me yesterday and said 'well that's it mum...no more Kindy days!!...now I am really sad'.... poor little fella, he made some wonderful friends and sadly as it goes only a handful of them are going with him to the same school next year.  But I know that he will quickly and easily make new friends in Prep.



GIVEAWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now seeing as tho the year is nearly over, I want to thank all my followers for supporting me and leaving me really encouraging and lovely comments.......without you I know I would have given up!!!

  4. Awwww he looks so so proud of himself and so happy too, and rightly so! Love the pics, Min :)

    They do grow up way too fast...I hate to say it, but before you know it he will be graduating from Yr 12 :( - when I look back to my eldests first day of school, it feels like just yesterday & I remember it so well, but she is now about to turn 22!!! (which makes me feel oh so old! lol)

    Wishing Riley all the best for the next big step into 'big school' and then the rest of his education years....I hope you all enjoy every step of the way and get to savour each & every moment & achievement :) xx

  18. Aaaah Riley looks so happy with himself Melinda. Very sweet. Yes the years will fly by don't you worry - and there's nothing you can do - but scrapbooking will help remind you of all those wonderful precious moments. My oldest just finished Year 12 - eeeek!

  20. Congratulations Riley!! :-)

    My youngest graduated from Kindy today too Min... there were tears but not from Danan, from me & his kindy teacher LOL! Danan took it all in his stride & can't wait to get to school next year with his brother & sister.

    Secretly I am looking forward to having some scrapping time again when they are all at school next year ;-) LOL!

    Thank you also for all the lovely comments you've left for me this year too.

  26. It is much harder on us than on them. My baby starts big school next year, she can't wait. I don't think I am ready though as her brother only started this year, it's all too close together! I love his diploma, it's fab!
