Sophie on her first and penultimate day at preschool

Darling Sophie, Today is your last day at preschool. I can’t quite believe that eighteen months have passed since your very first day at preschool. It has been lovely to see how much you’ve enjoyed your time at preschool; to see you grow in confidence and to make new friends.     Preschool has definitely… Read More

Jessica on her first day of school

I can’t quite believe that we’re almost at the end of Jessica’s reception year. It really doesn’t seem possible that three terms have passed by since the start of school. In that time, we’ve both grown so much. In this last year, I’ve watched Jessica learn and grow and become more confident. I’ve got to… Read More

Preschool - this week's word of the week

This week has seen a big step for Sophie as she started preschool on Monday. Jessica was very excited about her little sister going to preschool and enjoyed telling her all about it. I think she might have been more excited than Sophie was! I’ve been enjoying the walks to and from preschool again. Sophie… Read More

Darling Sophie, Today saw you take a little step into the world of independence – your first day at preschool. A new adventure, new opportunities to learn and to make friends. A few hours of your life each week that I will no longer have a share in. A time that I will only get… Read More

From the mouths of babes #78

18/07/201617/07/2016

From the mouths of babes is a weekly linky which invites you to share a post, old or new, about something your children have said. Those adorable mispronounced words, the glimpses into their imaginations, the blunt observations – whatever it is, I’d love to hear about it!   A big thank you to everyone who… Read More

The Friday Focus 15/07/16 – The end of the preschool days

15/07/201619/07/2017
Bittersweet - this week's word of the week

It’s been a bittersweet week. Jessica had her last day at preschool on Wednesday – the end of an era for her.  Emotionally, I’ve been up and down like a yo-yo.  The littlest things have had me in tears – emptying her preschool bag for the last time and finding her “I’m in today” photo… Read More

Darling Jessica, I can’t quite believe we’re here; that today is your last day of preschool.  It doesn’t feel so very long ago that I walked you to preschool for the first time and came home and cried a little at the thought that my baby girl was big enough to be going to preschool. … Read More
