daisy's last day at primary school - from nursery she's been there for 9 years. she seems pretty nonchalant about leaving, just desperate to get on holiday...into her jammies, glued to youtube in her bed for six weeks. that's what's happening in her head...little does she know, her summer isn't going to be spent on youtube.

so, we went up to the church for their leavers assembly and I met them all walking up. I thought daisy would be embarrassed to walk with me but she was clamped to me all the way up and back - maybe she is emotional about it afterall. it was a nice assembly but the body language of the p7s indicated that they just wanted to get out of that stuffy church and get the conga and shirt-signing going. wee ailidh was ace on the clarsach though, she stole the show.

she came home later all signed and happy - some of her pals had been very emotional, others hadn't. daisy said she wanted to feel like crying but she couldn't. lots of cuddles from her later at the poolside though as we watched peggo storm the pool and get moved up to level 5 with ace marks. just a shame she won't be coached by john in the next class.

I worry constantly about daisy but she always breezes through in her own sweet way in her own time and gets there eventually - I know she'll be just fine at the academy. I wonder if I'll ever stop wanting to be right there with her explaining things quietly into her ear...probably not. she's done an ace job at primary - with so many of the teachers recognising that her creativity is probably her future but cagoling the rest into her slowly. and always, always commenting on how much they liked her.

well done wee flower - here's to an ace summer, then onwards to the wonderful art department at meldrum academy (oooo, there's a huge kiln, can I come too??)
