Well done girls!

Aww the cuddles are so cute

 

[sequeena]

Well done Ella and Paige! They're so talented x

Minties I'm so depressed you're going into spring and we're going into winter (ok autumn but in the uk I'm not entirely sure that season exists).

Aww snuggles are so cute. Woohoo for 1000 pages!

We were at the children's centre this morning for a review. Thomas loves their ball pit.

Jeez, Thomas is massive! Wish I had such a willowy figure.

 

[sequeena]

The amount of people who have said that to me lately they can't get over how tall he is

Boy can eat for days and not put on weight. Why can't I do that

 

[_Meep_]

Sameee. It's so unfair.

 

[Bevziibubble]

First day of year 1 today!

Sequeena and Meep that would be my dream too! Before even winning the Euromillions Love the actionshot of Thomas!

Holly looks so cute in her little uniform dress!

[sequeena]

Aww James haha! Is that a dolls pram? Cutie pie!

Woah, um. When did Thomas grow up so big? He's already in year 2!? He's so handsome in his uniform. The school year starts in Jan/Feb here. How is he doing at school?

 

[Bevziibubble]

Yes it's a little doll's pram. He loves to sit in it

 

[minties]

Hey, if your kids start school at age 4, how are they only in year 1 when they are like 5-5.5? What are they in before then? Thomas has almost finished year 2 here.

Hehe Emma climbs into the dolls prams at toy shops, lucky she's fairly petite!

Sequeena I just saw your comment about being jealous I'm heading into spring - don't be. It bloody rains all spring here. Its pouring with rain right now.

Reception is the first year of school which is aged 4-5. And then year 1 is aged 5-6. I'm not sure why they do it like that, because technically year 1 is the second year, which seems confusing!

It's like the US with kindergarten and first grade except that we start school at age 5.

Yesterday was Ellas 4th birthday! She got a new bike and loves it... however she can't reach the ground (oops!) Actually surprised at how easily she took to it. Has never had a pedal bike before but after 5 minutes she was off and didn't fall once! (I do need to help her get on and off)

I took this photo of Alexander last month just days after he hit the 10 month mark (he was 11 months Sep 2). Not quite a baby anymore though not quite a toddler. He's not walking on his own but is walking around furniture so coming up toddler. At the moment, he's somewhere in the middle.

Thomas is the youngest in his year so whilst most kids starting reception were were 4.5 or even almost 5 Thomas had only just turned 4 a few weeks before. The cut off here is anyone born after September starts the year after so my friend's daughter is the oldest of her year being born on September 1st. She's a year behind Thomas even though there's not even a month between their birthdays. It's a bit confusing but generally it goes like this

Pre-school - 2 years old (just a few hours in the morning, usually free. In Wales it's called flying start but you can only get it free if your postcode is included).
Nursery - 3 (half a year mornings, half a year afternoons. Some kids depending when you're born have to do 2 years).
Reception - the September after you turn 4 years old. It's generally the oldest kids who have to do 2 years of nursery so that's why they're almost or already 5 when they start. Full time.

School isn't compulsory until they turn 5 though. Thomas only went at 4 because I wanted him in a unit and to have a statement.

Sorry kind of went off on one there

Thomas must have grown a hell of a lot recently as all I'm getting off everyone is how big he is. I had one woman say omg he's tiny and I was a bit confused but she meant he was slim

Love the pram picture Thomas would do that with his and push himself round the room

Happy belated birthday Ella!

That's a lovely photo wackymumof2 xxx
