Well… I am not looking forward to tommorow very much at all, as it will be the first of many goodbyes.

Every Thursday fortnight, Family Day Carers gather with their little ones for Playgroup.

I have attended almost every single Playgroup session since the beginning of my time with Eurobodalla Family Day Care.

Each visit is welcomed with much fun & excitement from the little treasures in my care.

We toddle off in the VS wagon with Happy Smiles & Red Hats adorned. Anxiously anticipating the moment we pull up at the kerb & spy the Activities that are awaiting our little hands & the friends who have arrived earlier than us!

We have craft activities presented for us to experience & enjoy, books in a lovely book corner to sit & read, a HUGE Home Corner to enact our daily routines & roleplay our most impressionable ones, many toys to stimulate our curiosity & learning & wonderful playmates to share it all with.

Caring staff that organise each session for our arrival, social interaction between other carers & their children & a nice warm cuppa to spin a yarn or have a whinge(!) over.

Who wouldn’t enjoy Playgroup each fortnight????!!!!

Sadly, tomorrow is my very last Playgroup as a carer. We have a picnic organised at Broulee, as long as the sun graces us warmingly & lovingly & I am hoping that as the session draws to a close, it will be like just a normal Playgroup ending by waving goodbye to each other & sharing a smile.

I do not want a farewell goodbye as such as Firstly, I will see everyone again & hopefully on a regular basis.

Secondly, I will become a blubbering mess & the young’ns in my care may be shocked at seeing their main support system in care crying, & possibly not understand.

Thirdly, because I will be driving back from Playgroup through town & along the Highway & prefer a clear head when making trips with these tiny & vulnerably dependant souls in my car.

So… just keep the brave face strong.

I don’t think it will last, but one can only try.

I mean, seriously… how easy is it to hide a breaking heart?
