One chapter ends, another begins. And other such cliches. Saying goodbye to Coco on her first day of school was much trickier than I thought. It was when I took a photo of both the kids together in their uniforms that I really lost the plot. It hit me hard and I spent most of the morning pacing my studio with the phone attached to my ear crying to my Mum, my sisters, my friends….I felt really silly until my sweet friend Maryann re-iterated that it was a huge deal for children AND their mamas and it was ok to be crazy sad.
And I am, but I’m excited too for what this next stage brings. I feel like a broken record but I can’t think of a better way to describe it other than bittersweet.
So bittersweet it is.
When you become an adult, you feel so safe in things in your life not changing much. And then you have kids. And change comes at you from left right and centre! Change is everywhere. Hooray for making it through the first (extremely short) week. Kellie xx
Big hugs to you my beautiful BOFF. And to your beautiful (still so little) schoolgirl. xx
Right now it feels like change is overrated. I’m having a hard time letting Oli grow up. You’re right though, it is all So SO bittersweet.
