January 2008

Hannah started school on Thursday the 31st of January at Beaumont Hills Public School.( the same school Auntie Ashleigh and Uncle Spenser attended) She was so excited to finally start her first day, and so were we all. This is how Hannah described her uniform: "Its, just skirt, but sort of shorts and you put your legs through the holes." (culottes)
When saying her morning prayers, she prayed that, "Mummy won't cry and won't forget to come and pick me up." We have so enjoyed hearing all the details of her first few weeks. Sometimes she takes 30 cents to buy an ice block at recess. One day she came home and wanted to take "a money note" as all the other kids took notes to school! When talking on Skype we got to see the art work she had done , and many awards she had received. One, was for waiting the quietest, while standing in the canteen line. Well done Hannah! What a delightful experience it is to enjoy all these details as a Nana. How we love you Hannah!
One of the things I have loved about having a large family, is seeing the "joy" multiply. For example when one of the younger children did something unusual or funny everyone enjoyed the experience, and the more involved the greater the experience. I had not anticipated this same joy being a Nana, but it is even sweeter!
