It's just hit me that my little August born boy is leaving his private nursery/preschool tmrw and heading off to school in a couple of weeks!
He was a total surprise late life pregnancy with an eight and six year gap from my others and at first...panic and despair set in at how we'd manage.
But manage we have and now it all seems to have gone in the blink of an eye! He's a total joy who fills our life with fun and he's totally changed our dynamic. I went down to working four days but so did my husband and we've parented so equally...my husband has loved his days off with him and juggling the school runs for our others.
So much so he's staying at four days and I'm going back up to five...turns out he's the more domestic one!
Anyway, I'm sure the only one whose feeling a little sadness at the end of these preschool years (while looking forward to his adventures ahead). Having a pandemic thrown in has made it go even faster if anything I think! Stopped and watch him sleep a little longer than normal tonight....a pause button would be wonderful at times.
