Growing up

Well, we got our school prospectus in the post the other day. The lady in the office was very friendly once it was determined we were "in zone" and was pleased that we had rung - they like to have advance notice for planning purposes. She said that we could make an appointment with the principal at any stage - we'll probably wait until a bit closer to the time. We will be contacted 2-3 weeks before Isabelle turns 5 to organise some school visits for her.

Isabelle was very interested in the little booklet.

Orla has almost grown out of her extra small nappies. I have put away all the quintuple zero clothes, and most of the quadruple zeros too. She is growing so big (even though she's only the size of a large newborn!). She is currently strapped to my chest in her front pack, sleeping peacefully. She has been more settled lately, especially at night, which has been a real bonus. (Although the other day, I went to bed around 9.00. I woke out of a deep sleep to find Brendon passing me Orla, who had woken for her first feed. Bleary eyed, I looked at the clock. It was.....9.20!!!!).

Aidan is such a big boy, but he is still a little baby in some ways. He goes from being extremely independent, vocal and inquisitive to needing his Mama and lots of reassurance. He seems to have found the daylight savings transition a bit difficult - waking at 5.00 am and starting to need his nap around 11.30. I'm sure this will pass soon.
