Big brothers starts school next term. I'm feeling perforated with one of those lines, like a voucher about to be ripped.
He can't wait, and has already asked if there are cool toys at his school, and told us that his school is actually a dragon school. He loves dragons. He lives in an amazing world of animals, dinosaurs and dragons. They all do kungfu fighting and often breathe AND fart fire.
Tonight one of the characters he has been pretending to be is a kungfu monkey spiderman ostrich dragon.
Or a pterodactyl dragon.
The kungfu monkey spiderman ostrich dragon has some crazy fighting/dancing moves, and wears a black cape and plastic hawaiian hoola skirt. I will miss his one-man-menagerie so much when he goes to school. I dread the thought of anyone saying - 'Stop that silliness, sit down and do your maths.'
I'm not sure 5 years of freedom to be whomever he feels and do whatever he wants is enough.
I hope the adults surronding him remember they once had an unblemished imagination too.
