Last day at the nursery

Yesterday I went to the nursery where I’ve been volunteering for the last time. Now that we’re so close to panel and I need to get so much done at work it was getting difficult to make the time. Also, now that we know that we’re hoping to be matched with a 6-year old, getting experience with 4 year olds doesn’t seem so relevant. But I’ve been going for 21 months now and I’ve really enjoyed it and learnt a lot about kids, the way they think and react, what they like and don’t like to do, and just to spend time playing with them. They made a really sweet farewell card for me with their pictures and they all wrote their names on it. I was quite moved when they gave it to me and quite sad to say goodbye. It’s weird to think that of course in a few weeks’ time they won’t even remember me, the way kids forget people they don’t see often. I shall miss them. At least until Boy H moves in, after that I expect I won’t have the time!
