Its my sons last day at primary school today-thats it,no more kids at primary.I'm a wreck already,theres a leavers assembly this afternoon and I know I'm going to be a right state at it,we really love the school.My sons going to be crying his eyes out,which will make me worse (I will try and be strong and sensible for him).Tbh,its taken me by surprise how I feel.I'm thinking alot today about the child who should be in year 3 of primary school,but we lost at 19 weeks pregnant.And I'm suddenly feeling old.I won't be able to say I have one child at secondary and one at primary,I now have one in sixth form and one at secondary .I know they have to grow up,but its harder than I thought it was going to be.

I remember the day very well our daughter left primary two years ago. It was a very emotional day that we really enjoyed, we took stacks of photos that we often look at and her school shirt that everyone signed is a prize possession of hers! Shes now finishing y8 at secondary, the time just seems to fly by.

Make sure you have some tissues on you, I blamed my "watery eyes" on my hayfever  It took me by surprise how emotional I was especially at their assembly when the teachers talked about the children.

Awww I feel for you all. i have tears in my eyes knowing how it feels for you all.I remember my daughters last day at primary and she is now about to enter year 10 at high school. How did that happen?

Onwards and upwards though as they go on their journeys.
