schol discos are over and done with again for another year. the kids had a great time at madeline's segment, because joseph stayed and was happy to be with her friends but oh, he did not like his part. he can be erratically shy out of nowhere sometimes, which can be a bit of a headache for us - and the school disco was one of those occasions.
from the time we arrived, i encouraged him to go and hang out with his friends, but he was having none of it. in fact, he went and found himself a comfy spot underneath a desk, where he could observe and not participate. he was perfectly happy there, unless someone came and spoke to him, or encouraged him to come out.
the sweetest part of the disco though, was watching his sweet friend mahalia come and ask him to come out. when he shook his head and looked at the ground, she joined him. didn't say a word, just sat by him and kept him company. it really warmed my mum heart. more people in the world need to be like that. not trying to pull people out of their comfort zone, instead joining them in theirs. what a lovely, sweet girl.
maddie's disco was a riot, my crazy outgoing girl is always in the thick of it and partied it up with her friends... and then joseph was all for it and danced about too
maddie and some of her little mates ❤
and her day one girls. she has been with these girls since kindy, so i am certain they will be friends for always. madeline, brooklyn, lara and sophie
here's a shot of them back in pre-primary, with their other kindy friend charlotte (who has unfortunately left us and gone to another school), but missing lara, as she was sick that day. it's amazing how much they have changed!
long live the primary school discos.
