Starting grade one is usually a mixed bag of emotions and practical doings and this just for the mom. The child who is the happy little boy on his way to the grade one year ; well, he too has a mixed bag of responses.
It is Samuel's turn to go to "big School". It all starts tomorrow. Yesterday I finished marking his stationery( with some help from a friend). His school uniform is all marked and ready and well , he is ready too, I think!
As each of our boys has entered formal schooling we have had a small gathering of little children going to grade one. It has always been great thing to do and yesterday was no exception. A bunch of boys and two little girls arrived - uniform in hand and siblings to play - to have a play. The main aim of the afternoon was to dress in the said school uniform and take some sweet photos and then to pray for these children. After all going to grade one is a big step and I know my Sam is feeling a bit anxious.
The afternoon was a huge success. The children looked so grown up and sweet in their little uniforms. We prayed for them and then set them free for one last time to swim. Sam wanted to pray last night and his prayer was - Thank you Lord for all those friends in Uniform. Amen!
