Have fun Uncle Nick!

Last night we all went to Granny and Grandads for a farewell dinner for Uncle Nick, who's off on his O.E.
The boys had a blast. Jase in particular loves his uncle and is all over him from the get go. Matty's still a little unsure around some family simply because he doesn't get to see them often enough, but that will pass with time.
The boys have been awesome lately. Not much evil-doing at all really. They had haircuts the other day and Matty looks like a real little man with short hair. Matty went first, and cried cos hes only a baby, and for some reason that made Jase regress and he cried throughout his haircut too! Not what you expect from a 4.5 year old :(
Talk of Tirau school is constant in our household. We have 6 months to prepare Jase for saying goodbye to pre-school and saying hello to the real deal. We have gone and played in the playground on the weekends, and we talk about how all the Shannon's have gone to that school. We talk about it being the school for Shannon's so much that Jason's is now convinced it was made just for him!
We have also visited the daycare/pre-school in Tirau for when Matty starts. I'm a bit worried about it actually. Its not a pre-school like Buckland Street is. They don't have a literacy or numeracy programme. In fact they pride themselves on not having a structure at all. It goes against their philosophy. Yikes. I know that that wouldn't work for Jase, but Matty will probably be just fine. I'm super disappointed to have to pull the boys out of Buckland Street when we move - they have both thrived there, and learned so much and are so comfortable and secure. Its like a second home to them. (Sigh). That's a big downside of moving :(
But, it will all work out. Mattys so adaptable and confident he will be fine at Tirau daycare, and I'm sure the staff are lovely.
Well, what a boring rant! This blog has become less about keeping family informed, and more about me recording stuff I want to remember as the boys get older!!
