Good luck to everyone who has a child starting at reception this week

[Schnullerbacke]

DD turned 5 today and since bedtime I have been sitting on computer, looking at baby pictures, shedding tons the odd tear. Time has flown, am sure most of you have felt it at some point, and now the time has come for our babies to start school. It feels odd, seeing the last 5 year as a block, its all been fun, had great times. Now it feels as if life is turning very serious and I don't like it.

Of course they still need us but I have this feeling that they will pull away and grow up even faster now, wanting to be with their friends more and more, not so much depending on us.

So, here is to our babies - I hope they will all have a great school start. Here is to us Mums - hope this week won't be too hard on us.

elinor I'm work full time so DH did drop offs and pick ups (although we have changed our hours so he now works in the morning and I do drop offs). You may find that there are other dads doing drop offs as well and PFB will soon be making friends and your DP will have to start talking to other parents when they ask PFB to tea. Also PFB will soon be beseiged with party invitations and you can meet other parents there. I've also become a governor which is a very good way to find out what's going on at school!

icrave am so glad to hear that today's been better :)

thanks ladies, I love mumsnet for the fab support
