Oh I remember that tour day, and that first day so well. Even 5 years later I am still struggling to wrap my head around how quickly time has gone. It is definitely an adventure like no other when they start school. Treasure these next 6 months of innocence with her because that first year of school changes them more than you could ever possibly imagine.
My eldest started this year and I was dreading it. I was not ready for her to be that grown up and I really did not want to share her. I am happy to say though, it is not nearly as bad as I thought. She LOVES it, and is having a ball but importantly (for me at least) she has not suddenly changed overnight. I think for some reason I thought she would become drastically different. She hasn’t, if anything she is happier because she is learning and being challenged in all the appropriate ways. I count the minutes to the holidays so I can have her all to myself again but I can honestly say it has not been as hard as I thought it would be. Just a new normal to get used to.

Ah, Bel don’t say that – I’m already NOT READY!! 😦
6 months! My oldest babe who was born dec 2010 starts next month. I wish I still had six months. I think I like Australia better then Canada.
I don’t think we’ll ever feel ready!
No, likely not. I can’t believe he’s going to school already. Im glad I’m not alone in this feeling though!
So exciting! Poppy looks a little like SHE can’t believe it either!
