I have been busy all week as it is Lizzys last week home before she starts school...so I have been trying to do something nice with her the whole time. I am gutted she is going, I like her home with me. But she is very ready to go, bored at home and needs more company of children her own age. I too am off to do a college course, so it is hopefully onwards and upwards for us both. The hours she will be doing for the first six weeks are unpredictable, random and extremely annoying. I have no idea how mothers that work in the day cope with child care during the first half of the term.
Anyway, come next Monday, I will be sobbing all the way home from dropping her off for the first time. She won't. I haven't forgotten her first day at nursery when she wouldn't even say goodbye to me, she just went straight in and started playing.
Dizzy's a stroppy madam. I wish her teacher all the Best of British luck.

she looks a lot like you and she;s stroppy ...... poor stew. Still at least she;s not a midget. I can;t wait for my kids to leave home let alone start school
Clanky,
She'll do fine, and you'll do fine!
i wish my sister would send her kids to school. every time i see my niece and nephew, i become frustrated that they don't know their alphabet or can't pick specific letters off a page. my nephew won't even hold a crayon.

she is adorable.
i remember when my first went off to school. i sobbed like a baby when the bus pulled away.

Stew is counting down the days til her 16th birthday. Hes says that's the day she's out. I know he will be secretly heartbroken!
Jilly it must be the most frustrating thing in the world for you. How old are they? You must really want to abduct them. Send them here if you like. No-one will know, and I can't have any more of my own.
She's such a cutie, Clank. Plus in that pic she looks amazingly like my older niece about 2-3 years ago.
I hope Stew's joking about the out-at-sixteen thing. It seems SO odd to me that a sixteen year old would be out on her own. Different cultures, I suppose.
He's joking. I promise.
What a lovely picture Clank
reed just turned 5 and trixie just turned 4. i do what i can, but i don't have the time or energy to make up for full time education and care. trixie tells me she wants to go to school because all the kids on tv go to school and it looks like fun.
i hope the first day of school goes well, cry if you need to, before you blink she'll be off to college. stew will rpobbly go nuts the first time she brings a boy home.

I never got emotional about my kids going off to school. But, that's just me.
I always thought it was weird how preschools have the strangest hours. I didn't work when my oldest two went, so it wasn't an issue. And, I'm trying to remember what I did when Braden went, but for the life of me, I can't.
oh ok Clank - sorry, I couldn't tell. Didn't mean to be insulting. I'm culturally challenged like that sometimes.
Heh, when she's 16, Stew will probably have a cricket bat handy to beat off the boys wanting to date her--if not earlier.
Schell..I think I am more clingy only having the one child. I think anyone who has three kids is the cleverest person in the world. I struggle to cope with one.
She's gorgeous, Clank. And just as she is supposed to be enthralled by the newness of school, you are supposed to be sad and nostalgic. I'd worry a lot if you weren't.

i was cleaning some drawers today and found some stuff my kids had wrote to me about 12 years ago. one was a poem my son wrote and the other was a cute mother of the year award my daughter made up. i was bawling my eyes out by the time i was done reading it all.
Oh my gosh, spidey,, that reminded me of a mother's day card i found in a drawer,, written quite a few years ago in careful printing ,, happy mother's day,,, my mother is nice,, she doesn't have lice. Love, Jimmy
