Our DS15 graduates from Year 10 today! I am SO PROUD of him! He has decided that he is going to return to school in the new year to complete Years 11 and 12, with plans to join the army after he completes Year 12.

I can still remember his first day of primary school! DH and I both went with him to his new class room. He found the hook with his name on it all by himself to hang up his school bag. He went into the classroom and sat down with a little boy, like it wasn’t hit first day at all!

I was so determined not to let him see me crying, that I quickly had to give him a kiss and tell him that I would see him later in the day, walked out of the school grounds and bawled my eyes out!

(My DH, reading as I’m typing this, kindly just pointed out that I’ve done this with all our babes!) Yeah, thanks DH…lol

I had to go to work after dropping DS off for his first day of BIG SCHOOL and each time one of my workmates asked me how he went, I became a blubbering mess again! When DH and I picked DS up after his first day, I asked him how his day went and he said “It was good! I think I’ll go back tomorrow”

While he’s not THAT excited about school any more, he still has done extremely well and has a good head on his shoulders.

W, Your dad and I are so proud of you, Son! Congratulations on graduating Year 10! We love you!!
