I'm grateful for......Wishes

Two things have happened this week that have made me think about wishes.

On the weekend we went to GoMA (Gallery of Modern Art) as the current exhibition is "21st Century Kids" 
It was amazing!

One of the pieces of interactive modern art was a 
"wish wall"

Many pieces of ribbon, each with a different wish printed on them;

I wish I could fly

I wish I had wings

I wish my drawings came to life

I wish I was a Ballerina travelling the world 

(Miss A chose this one, ok so I chose it for her!)

What did Master O choose?

I wish I had a pet!!!! 

Hint, Hint!

Then on Wednesday, we had Master O's Prep Interview, 

yes thats right interview for starting school in 2012 in APRIL 2011!!

and the dreaded question was asked by the principal...

What do you wish or want for your child's education?

so I thought.......

To learn with enthusiasm, use his initiative, follow his passions and 

leap in to life

To stay healthy and active, to exercise his body and mind

To be given the opportunity to explore, imagine and inquire

To develop a sense of awe and wonder 

and to use his senses,

to touch, taste and smell

To communicate confidently and

to speak up for what he believes in, without fear of judgement.

To choose his own path instead of following others

to maintain the balance between

 school and home

friends and family

study and play

To face every obstacle as a challenge armed with the persistence to conquer it

and the resilience to shrug off the setbacks 

To feel the joy and pride of success.

Today I am grateful that all these wishes for my child are beginning to come true

What more could a mother wish for.......
