I have one more year left where we wont get in trouble if
we were to sneak off on holiday during term time or taking advantage of attractions being slightly quieter. Oli of course goes to pre-school, we started him there just after Christmas so that he would be settled in by the time Dylan arrived and so that I could have some me time before becoming a mother of 2. We also thought him starting it earlier would help with his speech problems, which we have seen a notable difference with. Thankfully the start of a new term with him now being 3 means free funding, whoop.We'll soon be having our forms through from our local council though I'm pretty sure they're allowing us to do it online this year, where we pick our choice of school.
We've not even given it a thought and I guess we'll probably wait until we move at the end of the year as our catchment area may change. Guess this means having to actually buy school uniform and actually maybe labelling his items, I'm pretty sure I might of used the wrong kind of marker for his pre-school stuff. It's been nice being able to chuck him into the first items of clothing we find in the mornings, next year I'll have to actually make sure his school uniform is available daily and actually take the ironing board out of its wrapper.I'm relieved the holidays are over, they have gone quick though! Only seems like yesterday I was blogging about my dislike of the summer holidays. It means we can now go places and not have to queue for as long, the local soft play half's it admission price and shopping wont seem as chaotic. We're going to start making the most of term time holidays by visiting London for a few days at the end of the month and then taking a holiday to Butlins next month.
Have your kids returned to school/started for the first time or like Oli they have to wait until next year?
