Three little tots ready for their next adventure. As a childminder, saying goodbye will never be easy, but this year feels especially emotional as three of my little tots are spreading their wings and starting reception. Last night we had a very special camp out together to celebrate this exciting new chapter and one last push at growing in confidence. We talked about being brave, trying new things and how it's ok to feel nervous because some of life's greatest adventures start with butterflies in our tummies. I hope they leave knowing that being brave doesn't mean you're never scared; it means giving things a go anyway. A special mention has to go to my beautiful Hughie. He has shared not only his toys, his home, and his adventures, but also his mummy. He's welcomed every little one into our days with such kindness and acceptance. And the love the other children have for him is something really special. Watching him grow alongside them has been one of the greatest joys of this journey and I'm so incredibly proud of the little boy he is becoming. To my three big tots, thank you for filling my days with laughter, cuddles, adventures and memories I'll treasure forever. I'll miss you more than you'll ever know, but I know you'll walk through those school gates with confidence, curiosity and smiles on your faces. Wishing you all the happiest start to your next adventure. You'll always have a very special place in my heart πβ€οΈ
