I no longer remember the sleepless nights. Infact I don't remember much. Life has whizzed past. I blinked and middle man was starting preschool. Leaving me, off to explore, on his own. I am so glad that I wrote this on the eve of his third Birthday so that I can remember what he was like as he started pre school.



Blink again and today was the day that middle man started reception. School five days a week. How is that possible? My baby is at school. Little man is going to miss him terribly. They have become such good friends over the last few months. Middle man no longer sees little man as a baby, but as a playmate, because lets face it, little man is growing up so quickly too.

After a hilarious teacher home visit, I know that middle man will be just fine. He jumped out of bed full of beans this morning. He proudly told Daddy at the breakfast table that he was now a big boy and would be going to school to learn to be a vet and look after sick animals. I'm not sure that this is on the reception syllabus, but I do know that the school have 2 rabbits so hopefully he will get to see them soon.


I will miss middle man being at home, but now it is time for him to go and make friends and learn. When you first have a newborn it feels as though the sleepless nights are endless, but blink twice and they are heading out to the big wide world one little foot at a time.

For now I need to savour the fact that he is happy to give me a kiss and cuddle at the gate. Fairy is helping to encourage Mums and Dads to make the most of those soft cuddles with their little ones while they can. I gave middle man a big cuddle when he went in this morning and I will most certainly be giving him an even bigger one when I pick him up at 3.15. Trust me there is a reason behind the saying time flys. It really does.



Here is a short video that Fairy have made showing just how precious those soft cuddles are. Has you little one started school or pre school this year? If so how are they finding it?
