*and off she goes...*

Confidently, skipping down the drive this morning, hand-in-hand with daddy. Freya was happy and excited when she left the house - long may it continue.

Hope everyone else starting back today has a fantastic beginning to the new term!

*later that same day*

Well! Freya had a fantastic start to the new term, and came home full of beans, and very chatty, telling us all about her day. I spent the day making final preparations for Anja's first day tomorrow - sorting out her PE kit ("what's PE, mum?") - she, meanwhile, has 'packed' her book bag: flashcards (her 'key words'), books, top trumps cards (2 packs), a little pair of trousers ("painting trousers, mum"), her legitimate painting smock, pens, pencils...it weighs a ton, and she can carry it for about five steps before having to put it down!!! I am going to indulge her, and let her take it all tomorrow, as I am in with her tomorrow morning - yes, we parents are obliged to stay for the morning!! - and then I'll explain that she needs to leave most of it at home. She was too excited to sleep this evening - I thought she'd never go. I have been instructed to tie a blue ribbon on her book bag so that she knows which one is hers when they're all together.

Sweet dreams, all :)
