One minute I was taking my oldest to start his first day at primary school; I blinked, eleven years have passed, and today was the last day at primary for my youngest. Here we are setting off for school on our bikes for the last time! Next year Will joins Ed at secondary school and they go by bus.
I'm proud to report that I managed to keep the blubbing to a reasonable level through the Leavers' Assembly.
The zoom effect is meant to convey the speed of time passing! (Not to mention trying to disguise the fact it's not a very good photo!)
I think you conveyed exactly what you were looking to say in your caption! A friend once said to me, "With kids around, you can't deny the passage of time..." So true! I never felt like I got older, but the presence of my girls tells a different story... I feel your pain...
Am in the same boot as you, kiddo starts secondary school in a few weeks, its scary how fast time goes!
