One Year On...

Wow, it's been over one year since I last added to this blog. Things have changed!

Unbelievably, Harry starts primary school this year. I can't believe that this blog has charted him from birth to primary school but there it is.

He'll be going to St Wilfrid's school in Burgess Hill in September, where he starts full time. He's already had three "settling in" sessions which he really enjoyed, and since he's been in creche for three years already, the transition should be easy. He'll actually spend less time at school than he did at creche!

Which is where a big change will have to come in... To accommodate his new hours, I'll have to change my working arrangements. On Monday and Wednesday, Michele will take him to school and pick him up, while keeping Thomas at home.

When she works, Tuesday, Thursday and half day Friday, she'll take Thomas to the creche at work as normal but I'll be taking Harry to school. Since his school day starts at 8.50am, I'll be at work later - which means I'll be leaving later. Bummer.

Michele will pick Harry up on the days she works.

Eventually, I guess I'll take both boys to school on those days while Michele will pick them up. Ugh - don't want to think about little Thomas going to school, that's too depressing!

I'll be sure to post a picture of Harry in his school uniform nearer the time - if I can wipe away the tears long enough!

Thomas is coming along great guns, and is walking on his own now. Seeing him toddle across the carpet, giggling with Harry, brings a great stupid smile to my face. It's great to see them get on so well, laughing and rolling about.

So that's what they look like now - getting on, aren't they?

No real progress on the speaking front, but Thomas can definately say "dada" now. Sweet.
