Baby D's returned to school after a month and a bit of summer vacation. He starts in Year 1, no longer the youngest in school. It's been a summer full of Christmas, and questioning how Santa Claus will make his sneaky entrance to drop off presents, barbecues and beaches, play dates, gaming arcades and movies.
Mommy D and Daddy D took themselves a summer vacation too - the longest in a while.
On one of these long, lazy, sweltering afternoons, Baby D and I went to while away our time in the air-conned surrounds of a shopping mall. We went shopping - school shoes and clothes, ice cream and lunch. I decided to have a meaningful conversation with Baby D as we wolfed our way through kabob and chips at the Greek restaurant.
"Baby D, what are your biggest hopes for this year"
"My biggest hopes are no Maths and parties"
"What kind of parties Baby D? Birthday Parties? "
"No mum, I'd like to have parties in school."
Well Baby D, I'm glad of your optimism - I can't rid your life of Maths, not really. Hopefully, I can get you to like it better.
Baby D's life is full of friends and parties and fun - there's Maths and school, violin and swimming.
My hopes for the year - I hope you are happy, and you have many friends, I hope you accomplish things - learn to swim and learn to love music, and tolerate MATHS.
