Feel so down.

My children go back to school tomorrow, my youngest starts school for the first time and the others are going into years, 3,4 and 5. They seem to be growing up too quick and I want to keep them at home with me.
The summer holidays go too quick.

Aww bless, what a lovely mummy you are. Take the opportunity to get everything sorted for this baby.
Perhaps plan a 'back to school' treat for weekend just so the fun doesn't have to stop!

From working in kidswear through the back-to-school stage I have to say its always lovely to hear this. It's so great when parents enjoy their children and tell you about it.

One lady nearly broke down crying when saying her youngest was starting school...and another with her oldest said "thank goodness I still have 2 at home"

It's certainly a lot nicer than having people moan about the summer being so long and cant wait to get their kids back into school - which I would say happens a lot more.
I don't know how I will feel...must be a strange sensation. I'll probably blub at the gates and find some blubbers to blub with

 

[skydragonfly]

Aww thank you. Believe me I'm going to be blubbing tomorrow. At least this year I can blame hormones lol. When my eldest started school I then had a following 2 years where I had a child start reception, it felt like they were getting onto a fast moving conveyor belt.
I am just thanking my lucky stars that I have another baby to look forward to.

All mine went back today and although I did enjoy the peace of shopping alone lol I did miss them

And my 'baby' has just gone into year 5 *gulp* can't beleive I'm doing it all again in a few years though!

 

[skydragonfly]

Pinkie, year 5 seems so old doesn't it? My eldest at 9 years old is the same height as me but I still think of him as my little baby, and it gobsmacks me to think of him in year 5! My 3rd child has only just turned 7 (30th August) and he is starting year 3. I don't want him in Juniors yet. Though he would growl at me if I suggested that he's too young.
God help me when they start going to senior school.

 

[pinkie77]

Skydragonfly, I have 2 in secondary now, DD1 is 13 and just started year 9 and DD2 went into year 7 today! My 9 year old is still my baby though (or has been til now anyway) and yes, year 5 seems so grown up This time next year I'll be filling his secondary school forms in, doesn't seem like five minutes since he started infants!

 

[skydragonfly]

Pinkie, I am sticking my fingers in my ears over secondary school. I refuse to believe any of my babies will ever be big enough to go there. Hope your children are enjoying their new years at school.

I know how you feel, it is my LO's first day of school today and i have already started blubbering, god help me when i get to the school....

 

[pinkie77]

Thinking of you this morning, hope your youngest enjoys their day x x

Hope your LO enjoys their day too Sue x x

Mine all love school luckily, hope it lasts a few more years!

 

[Sammylou]

I know exactly how you feel, my little man went back this morning (year 1) and the house feels so quiet and empty already. Everyone else that I know seems to celebrate the beginning of term but I hate it

I am nearly blubbing just reading this and my twin girls are only 18 months!!!! But there's a pre-school that accepts children from 2yrs onwards, which they will be just as my new baby's due, and MIL seems to think it'd be a good idea to let them go a few p.m's a week to give me some time alone with babba OR simply to sleep! But even just thinking about them going breaks my heart, the last time I left them in someone else's care was when they were born and had to stay in NICU for 3 weeks and it was the worst time of my life I dread to think what I'm going to do when they start school.....!!!!
