If you follow me on instagram you might have seen me say recently that Amy has been testing our patience somewhat. I had fully expected she would be a bit of a pain last term – that starting full time school would leave her tired and grumpy, that perhaps she would pick up different behaviours from other children at school and test those out – I expected it. I remember Ben and Chloe being really hard work in that first term of Reception. It didn’t happen. She practically sailed through her first term of full time school full of smiles and excitement – I put it down to her being the best part of a year older than Ben and Chloe when they had started school but no, she had just lulled me into a false sense of security.
February Half-Term and Sunshine!
Traditionally February half-term is probably my least favourite – it’s cold and the weather is usually pretty miserable and we struggle to get out and about as much as I’d have liked. Not so this year, this year we had something of a flirtation with spring, the sun shone and the rain stayed away for the most part and meant we could really get out and about.
