Dear Erin…
It felt about time to write you a litte update (you can read all the blog posts about you here). If mummy remembers to renew her blog URL hopefully you’ll have a chance to read this and all the other posts I’ve written for you.
You’re four now and starting school in about a month. You’re very excited and we’ve been very busy choosing your uniform. You’re very particular about everything picking things with frilly bits and butterfly embroidery. The shoes you’ve chosen are bright red! You’re very fashion conscience, always accessorising and experimenting with new outfits and ‘looks’, you put mummy to shame! I’ve had to buy hair straighteners and bangles just to keep up and you keep pointing out how I always wear jeans and trousers and never skirts or dresses. I expect that I’m in for a few makeovers before you hit your teenage years.
You’ve been making Daddy and I laugh lots recently, you’re always making jokes and doing funny things. You love watching sponge bob square pants, playing with Daisy, swimming and drawing pictures. You say you’re going to be a ballet teacher when you’re older, I’m not sure about that but I definitely think it could be something arty.
You’ve just been to your first sleepover at a friend’s house and also had your first sleepover at home. You’ve just taken your first train journey. All of a sudden we seem to be doing lots of ‘firsts’ again.
You’re not a baby or toddler anymore, you’re a proper little girl and although I’m excited about you starting school it will be a little sad to see the end of our full days together.
As always you’re taking everything in your stride, you make me so proud.
Love you so much my hands are behind my back (do you remember that?)
Mummy
Aaaw that’s lovely.
I felt exactly the same during the build up to my two starting school x
Magic Mummy – I’m coming over all sentimental!
Good luck to her and you! School starts so awfully young…
But from what you say it sounds like she’s going to love it!
I remember feeling the same when my girls started, it all felt so unknown again.
I’m sure she’ll love it and take it all in her stride.
Love the, “Love you so much my hands are behind my back” comment – so cute!
*gulp* She’s getting so big. I feel like I’m taking every step with her. Hope you’re having a lovely summer together.. xx
Lovely post. I have it all to come and I expect I will feel exactly the same. Your daughter will be so proud of all your blogging efforts when she can read and understand them x
Lovely! Brought a sizeable lump to my throat and a few tears! My not so little one has not long turned four and also starts school in September, so I feel your pain, joy & pride. Funny time!
Have a wonderful summer together x
EM – Having a fab summer, it’s weird I feel like our relationship has developed we’re laughing and joking more together – she gets different types of humour now.
Jenny – I hope so, I hope she doesn’t think I’m a weirdo geek! She looks at it occasionally now and always tries to get me to put photos of her on!
Nicki – It’s a strange time their last summer before school, don’t you think?
Aww. Feel as if I am intruding slightly, but that’s lovely.
stop it !! your making me cry …. what a lovely idea this is for erin to read in later years….
Yeah, if im still blogging then!
Awwww so lovely mate. It makes me smile to think she has had you buying straighteners and frills. You’ll be getting some interesting prezzies in years to come from that one I reckon. xx
