We have a picture on our wall with the words “Be a Flamingo in a flock of pigeons” and this perfectly sums up my son. From the second Harry was born we knew we had an entertainer on our hands. Full of energy, a smile that could melt ice and a very cheeky personality. Harry taught me how to be a mummy. I made more mistakes than I would have liked and at times felt like sending him off to live at the Zoo but there will always be a special bond between us. My little Flamingo starts school on Monday and even though he is more than ready to go I am going to miss him. We have spent the last 4 years on an adventure together, often getting lost, often knee high in mud but most importantly making memories together. I know on Monday Harry will fly off to school without any problems but my nest just won’t be the same without My Little Flamingo.
He’ll definately shake his tail feather X šš
As long as he keeps his pants on !
Ah good luck to you and your flamingo on Monday, I’m sure you’ve taught him to fly ..do flamingos fly? #fortheloveofblog
He will be fine , me im not sure . I doubted myself with the Flying Flamingo’s but as per Google – Yes. When flamingos migrate, they like to do their flying mainly at night. They prefer to have a cloudless sky and favorable tailwinds. They can travel approximately 600 km (373 miles) in one night at about 50 to 60 kph (31-37 mph). You learn something every day.

My four year old twins start school on Tuesday I’m sure he will be fine not so sure about the girls fab post #justanotherlinky
Thanks !! He’s only in for 2 hours but i bet his pristine new uniform is ruined by the time he comes back home. Thanks for commenting X
Hi Becci, it’s always good to be a little different and flamingos are much more interesting than pigeons! I hope Harry has a fab time at school.
#JustAnotherLinky
Thank you !! He gets his ‘ stand out from the crowd ‘ from his mum. Never one to hide in the background . Ha ha . Thanks for commenting X
What lovely words for your little flamingo… I’m sure he’ll miss you too while he’s at school. #justanotherlinky
He’s only in for 2hrs on his first day so a quick play with some sand and paint and he will be back home. Bet his uniform will be ruined though !! Thanks for commenting X
Good luck to your little one on his new adventure! Sounds so exciting and his school uniform looks awesome. Good luck to you as well mummy, I know it can be a big step #justanotherlinky
There are several big steps in the next 2 weeks , School for Harry , Nursery & 1st Birthday for Charley and back to work for me . Boo Hoo . Thanks for commenting XX
Goodness, I certainly have a flamingo amongst pigeons too! Nanna signed us all up for a photoshoot today (yuk!) and my Flamingo was straight in front of the camera, hamming it up and putting us all to shame. #justanotherlinky
Fab ! I love it. My dads a photographer and i have borrowed his fancy camera to do a photoshoot with both the kids. Its bound to go wrong . Thanks for the comments X

Aw I remember the day I sent my eldest off to school and now she has just started high school! He sounds like a great little character, I’m sure he’s going to love school.
#fortheloveofBLOG
Oh he looks so happy in his uniform. Hope he has been loving it and I hope you are ok too. Can imagine in a few years I’ll be in tears on the first day of school!!!
Ah that is so lovely. He definitely looks very happy and I hope it went well. My eldest started school too and my nest feels empty too. Holly and I miss her and we are finding our feet with it all. Thank you for joining us at #SharingtheBlogLove x

Sorry, visiting from #SharingtheBlogLove not #TheList (just been sharing other posts from there so got momentarily confused, oops) xx
I edited it for you so it just shows #SharingtheBlogLove #BrilliantBlogs XXXX
He is so cute and looks so happy! Good luck to your boy! š #SharingtheBlogLove
Omg, he is absolutely adorable!! Lovely post xx
I love that quote. I might have to steal it for my daughter. #Postsfromtheheart
He looks very cheeky indeed! Never heard the flamingo saying before but like it! #postsfromtheheart
That is an incredible quote, and a wonderful compliment to your son. After all, a flamingo is far more fun to be than a pigeon! I remember Number One starting school and feeling much the same, even now after the holidays end my nest always feels too empty x #PostsFromTheHeart
Aw, I remember reading this when you first posted it. I bet he’s come on leaps and bounds in the time he’s been at school and you’ve adjusted to your new routine. We definitely need more flamingos and unicorns and encourage whatever our children want to be as long as they are just as accepting of other people and their aspirations – we certainly will be in our house anyway. #PostsFromTheHeart
It was heart breaking when my youngest started and I honestly felt a bit lost going through the daily routine without him around. That did however pass rather quickly and the extra me-time and freedom are wonderful! Good luck! #PostsFromTheHeart
Those are invaluable years, full of fabulous memories and shared experiences that will guarantee a lifelong bond. I hope he enjoys school, it is such an exciting time for him as well as you. #postsfromtheheart
