I've just come back from Corey's leaving assembly for primary school. It was wonderful. The kids scripted and acted it themselves and it was based on Dr Who going through different eras. There were three Cybermen dancing sixties style, the world cup being won, so much stuff. Though the boy who was dressed in a spotty dress to become one half of Mel and Kim from the eighties brought the house down with his wild dancing.

Then it was the end, all the kids were on stage and sang Take That's Never Forget, and just, I've watched them grow over the last seven years, longer for some who went to Corey's playgroup and nursery. They're all growing up and were singing about memories and I couldn't help getting all teary. Not helped that Corey did the same. He's so sensitive and obviously got hit with the fact they're leaving. He was dabbing at his eyes with his tie, but his friend looked after him until he got off stage then the headmistress looked after him.

I remember his first nativity play in reception class. Corey was a sheep with a little black nose wearing a woolly tabard, then seven years later he's standing there in his shirt and tie.

It's been a wonderful school. We'll miss it.

AWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!

You're such a good mam, and Corey clearly gets so much of his love from you. It's making me all teary just thinking about it.

It could just be the PMS hormones though.

Or the booze.

No matter, it's all genuine. ;)

*mwah*

Okay, you've made ME teary. Geez. *hugs you* It's hard to watch them grow up, even while it's a wonderful thing. I'm still all O_O over the fact that Matthew's starting the 7th grade in a couple of weeks, and will be THIRTEEN this fall.

Sometimes I think the hardest thing we do as parents is watch them grow up! I've cried each time mine has passed a milestone. It's incredible for me, now, to look at my two as productive adults and know that my youngest is about 1 year away from graduating college! Time moves on and thankfully we have memories to keep us young at heart! *HUGS*

You've got even me feeling all sniffly and I hated school and have the maternal instinct of a rock! :-)

Awwwwwww <3 That's so beautiful Luvvie. I don't have kids (and won't for a while...I am assuming o.o) but this already is making me go, "they grow up so fast!!" hahaha.

I can only imagine how wonderful it is to watch him grow. You are such a great momma *loves on you*

That sounds so sweet (and a fabulous concept) and I'd totally have been bawling with you (and Corey).

Aaaww you got me all teary now. I'm so glad he had a good experience there. It'll be a good memory for him when he thinks back to that time. Go Corey!!

Heyhihowareya.
Sorry to bug you on a completely unrelated post but it just occured to me. Something about Chris, Orlando, and Radio clicked in my head. I'm going to sound really dumb for asking this but is Chris on a Radio show down here??? I thought I heard something about this awhile ago and considering the lack of entertaining DJs he would be a fabulous change of pace lol.
