This Father's Day, I got to kick things off in a truly special way: a breakfast visit to the nursery. While I've dropped him off and picked him up countless times, I've only actually been inside the nursery a handful of times, so this was a lovely chance to see his world from a new perspective.
When I first arrived, Thom was actually a little shy, but it didn't take long for him to warm up. Once he spotted his favorite member of staff and got a little food in him, he started to warm up. He then became absolutely buzzing with excitement, so keen to show me around and pulling me by the hand from one area to another. It was clear he was really proud of his space, and it was heartwarming to see him so comfortable and happy there. He led me through the different play zones, pointing out his favourite toys and activities.
We settled down for breakfast, and I enjoyed a proper bacon sandwich, a nice start to the day! Ever the sophisticated little man, opted for a croissant, which he happily munched on. It was just a simple meal, but sharing it with him in his environment was a nice experience.
After breakfast, we had about half an hour to play together. We explored the outside, and I got to see him interact in a way I don't usually witness. He was so engaged and full of joy, and watching him enjoy himself so thoroughly was the best Father's Day gift.
Leaving him after our play felt a little bittersweet, we had a big cuddle before I left. It was a wonderful reminder of how much he's growing and how much he loves his nursery. Moments like these are truly precious, and I'm so glad I got to share this Father's Day breakfast with my enthusiastic little guide.
