Relief! We got our school!

April 16th! An important date for all parents whose kids are starting school or moving to the next stage in their school life in September.

Finally at 8pm we got the confirmation that our little one is going to the infant school 300 meters down the road. 300 meters?! It's a done deal right? Quite possibly but it's always nice to have the confirmation in writing. But 8pm! Tortuous! Whatever happened to automated emails. I heard that some councils issued their confirmations at 6am .... what possibly could have taken so long?!

Anyway I'm relieved that we got the school we wanted and Jo San's buddies are going there too. At least that should put to bed some of the separation anxiety that she's been suffering with.

Today, after two years at nursery I decided on the spur of the moment to leave and put her in a local pre-school. And what a difference the decision has made to my little girl. She was kicking and screaming and refusing to go to nursery this morning but by this evening, having enrolled her at the local pre-school where her friends go she's desperate to go to bed so she can wake up early for the taster session tomorrow.

Please please please let this excitement continue!!!
