A Step Toward Independence

A momentous day for all of us. Luca started pre-school today and he did it in style. To ease him into it he only had to go for an hour today. We had been building school up for the past week but deep inside I think Kel and I had expected a hard separation... but how wrong we were. Luca had a bit of a death grip on my hand as we approached the school but as soon as the gate was opened and the teacher invited him in, he walked in turned around once and said "bye" to Kel and I and walked off into the classroom like he'd been doing it for years. We picked him up after an hour and he told us he had a great time. Mum and dad were proud, relieved, happy and sad all in five mins ... our boy is growing up.
