She’s leaving home...
Well not quite but it’s only a matter of time.
Just dropped Littleone and her Dora the Explorer lunch box off for the first day in reception class. She will stays until 1:15 for the first month and after that it will be 3:15. She did look kind of lost. I think it’s partly to do with the fact that they have staggered it so that only a few kids start each day and none of her friends start until tomorrow. She got all flustered when the big scary reception teacher* descended upon her and asked her what her name was, Littleone had to look at the name sticker on the back of her chair to remind herself.
Bless her.
*Sob*
Bah! That’s enough sentimentality for today.
Dorset was great by the way. I went swimming in the crystal clear sea nearly every day and did a lot of steep walking so I am feeling incredibly fit for a change. Alas it all seems so distant all of a sudden.
Unfortunately now I have to throw myself back into reality head first, I have a double length, theory based essay due in less than a week. Oh and of course a pile of washing to do and a load of bills to pay.
Right! Back on the treadmill again.
Is that the pounding of my own head I hear?
*She is of course not at all big or scary she must have seemed that way to an (only just) four year old who was probably expecting to have a massive rough and tumble with all her mates.
