She is so naive to the years ahead. The stage she’s in now is easy!
I wonder if they’ve thought about whether Alf will go to pre-school in January?
This time next year, they’ll need to be making decisions about schools for Alf ahead of admissions applications opening in November.
Then two years from now, he’ll be about to start school. That will need so much emotional preparation. Plus the practical side of the meetings at school, teacher home visits, buying uniform, name labels, school shoes, then the actual starting. Bets Nana takes Alf for his first day?
Just you wait Ash for the reading every night, the homework, the tombola requests, the bake sales, the non-uniform days, the Christmas fairs, end of term disco, birthday parties, World Book Day dress up, parents evenings, SATS!
2 1/2 is NOTHING. 2 1/2 is easy.
