It’s scary when they finally hit school age and I swear it only feels like yesterday you were holding them, all bundled up in your arms. Well, that time has come for me with my eldest. As she turned 5 in August all she has been able to talk about is that she gets to go to school next year and she couldn’t be happier. It’s funny sitting there watching how excited they get and I hope she is always that excited for school but I’m sure as a lot of parents learn and I think everyone one of us has experienced even when we went to school the excitement changes and fades but that is life and we move on.

But it’s fun, for now, we have done some of the uniform shopping and I have looked into the stationary list and she goes to the transition program every week and always come back with new art but I think the scariest of it all is sitting down and having to learn the way teachers now teach children especially when it comes to reading and writing. There is this new teaching style called “thrass” and don’t get me wrong it sounds amazing when it’s explained and sounds like it would really benefit the kids but as a parent it’s almost like you need to go back to school just to be able to understand what your child is going to be coming home and telling you. I promise, if you don’t have a child that has had to learn this and they are going to you should start learning now cause I feel like it’s going to take a while for you to get your head around it cause you automatically start thinking of the ways you were taught but that’s now wrong 😦

Don’t worry you will get there but that’s only until they change it again haha

Don’t get me wrong school time is exciting which for me it means a little more freedom but I then have to go through this process again the year after with my second but I’ll have a break for a year then do it all again for last 2 which will go in one after the other and it’s scary to think that 5 years from now I won’t have any children at home anymore and my house may be a little peaceful throughout the day haha but that’s wishful thinking

It is an emotional time especially when they first try on the uniform and put their bag on for the first time, it just looks so big on them haha but I have teared up quite a few times and I’m sure there is still plenty to come so enjoy the years you have before they grow up and head off to school because they come too quickly that’s for sure. Hope you enjoyed 🙂

Talk again soon CC ❤
