Countdown to Nursery
Only two days to go and Erin begins nursery. I’m trying not to sound too relieved, but I am. It’s been a long three years and we’ve had lots of fun and I’m glad that I did it (stayed at home)etc etc but I’m looking forward to a bit of freedom, the intensity of the school holidays has definitely worn me down a bit and I’m looking forward to the reprieve of having to provide endless activities and entertainment.
Her teachers came to visit this week introducing themselves and explaining what we can expect on her first day, along with the things we need to take – a completed welcome pack, plimsoles, wellies, spare clothes etc.. It all feels very official and even though it’s not full time and not ‘real’ school, the nursery is inside the school so it still feels like a milestone. The teachers were lovely and Erin has been asking every day if she’s starting nursery today so I’m confident that all will be well.
And me? What will I do with my two hours forty five minutes times five less one friday in two…. Badminton and leisurely lunches with hubby, studying for my HNC, getting my house and garden in order, especially the garden.
Beanie starts next week too. I am nervous. Bit different for us, as she already goes to private nursery one day a week, but still feels like a milestone. Our little girls!
