Dd and I have been to a new intake of year 7's disco / nibbles. & wine for parents evening.

She's still a little girl who likes to snuggle up with her mummy. She can't be ready for secondary school already.

She's going to grow up really quickly isn't she? :(

DD is bigger than I am and still looks too little for Secondary if I stand far enough away

I think we are spoilt here. We have Middle School so no High School til Year 8. They look more like they should be going then.

Nice to have a disco and nibbles though.

That's a nice introduction.

My dd1 just turned 13, and she's in S1 (yR 7 in england) as they go a bit later here. She still gets in bed with me for a cuddle in the morning before she has a shower and sits on dh's knee while watching tv.

For us, the biggest adjustment has been the travel - she gets 2 buses across Glasgow each way every day. And has a pass, so it's not the school bus. She loves it - says other people's conversations are fascinating.

Reckon it must be ok as she's currently listening to loud music, dancing and making Cookie Monster cupcakes in the kitchen (I've been banished!!)
