After all the gloom and doom I have felt in recent weeks, here's some fantastic news which I have to shout about

[emkana]

We had dd1's parents' evening today (she's in reception), and the teacher was sooooooo positive about her, in every way! It culminated in her saying that she would like a daughter like dd1 one day.

Just what I needed!!! Sorry, just had to gloat for a moment...

Wow now that is positive.................

That must be lovely to hear!

Thats really lovely...You should be very proud!

That's lovely emkana. Big hugs to the whole emkana crew!

Lovely to hear such good news.

That's great emkana

Gloat away, you are especially entitled after all you have been through as a family emkana (and please don't take it the wrong way, but your dd1 will have been very aware of your preoccupations and empathising with you, ds was very loving and perceptive at this age when I had pregnancy worries).
Settling in to reception is not easy for all children and she sounds like she is a star :)

oh, emkana, what a lovely reference from your dd's teacher.

Thank you all for your kind messages!

bless her, that's great :) :)
Thanks for your mail. Will write back this eve when I've got more than 2 mins :)
