There have been many times where Penny and I have looked at an activity in advance and come to the conclusion that Daniel would not be able to do it. We don’t do that anymore.
As time passes, we are constantly surprised at both Daniel’s ingenuity for working out how he can participate in games, as well as the ingenuity of his classmates …
What school is best for my child? Should I choose a special school, government school, independent school or private school?
How would I know? I’m just a dad and really my wife handles most of this sort of stuff … I just pay the bills and weigh in on the debate when we start discussing how much it will all cost.
Daniel is at the end of year 6, so we are currently experiencing all the highs and lows of moving from primary school to high school. We are also experiencing going from the public system through to an independent school, which is also a bit of a learning curve.
We have an open door
policy in our house and all of the kids know that. Every weekend our house is full of neighbourhood kids coming over to play with the computer games, toys, etc., so you will always find parents calling us up asking, Is David over at your place?
, Yes, he’s here!
It’s great. I often reflect on how lucky our kids are to be in a community where their friends can just drop over unannounced and have a fun time.
I get sad when Daniel asks me, William gets invited over to other people’s places, why don’t I?
