Starting School

DD1 is 4 1/2, and will be starting school in september (5th to be precise) - it now seems much closer. A friend of ours turned up with some prefectly servicable 2nd hand uniform (her daughter, 2 years older, had outgrown) and we're going to try and find school shoes (in a size 9 1/2 D width fitting - that'll be fun, nad a whole other post) tomorrow. Waited until we knew she'd got hopefully all of her growing in, so we didn't get to the day before she starts and realise they were now too small. Thankfull for that as when we started the holidays she was a size 9.

DD1 also seems very comftable with the idea of going to school, and has friends she knows who'll be in class with her.... all in all looks like we're in for a smooth transition. However, it does now seem to be getting very close. And you just cant help but feeling your 'baby' is all grown up!
