Youngest son's last day at nursery...it's crept up on me!

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.

Exactly the same situation as me my august born DD finishes nursery next week and I didn't even realize it was that soon until yesterday! The pandemic has definitely skewed time up for me lol

Oh so much...there were some really long days in lockdown...yet the weeks and months seem to have passed in a blur!

It's just crazy to think they were 2 and a half at the beginning of lockdown and now they're starting school!
