Today's Christian's last day at Carpe Diem..I was feeling wistful on his behalf, at the thought of him leaving behind his friends..some of those children have been at that school with him since he entered at 21 months old. I'm not sure if he really understands that he is unlikely to ever see them again - he was just happy at the thought of me bringing pizza to school and kept asking me if he could eat ONE pizza. Hmm...he did mention that he's 'going home' and seems to understand that he has to say bye to those friends, but he does not seem sad at all. Perhaps it's because he's never experienced a true farewell as yet, and does not understand what it means and how it'll feel.
Anyway, I dropped by just before lunchtime with 2 large pizzas. The children were so lively, posing for pictures for me and clamouring to see the results of picture-taking. They kept nattering away as they ate too, telling me that their slice of pizza is now a track, breadstick, road, etc etc. It was fun being around them... bye for now, Carpe Diem! (We'll be returning tomorrow to take some photos of the school there.. so it'll be "photo overload" on this blog these few days!)
