You might have thought that with Ol turning five and starting school it was all about him lately. Well you might have been a teeny bit right. But you know what? Since Ol started school there has been a fair bit more quiet around here than usual. And do you know what I've learned… I've learned that this girl can count to ten. She knows all the words to "Baa baa black sheep". She knows lots of colours. I've never sat down and taught her these things the way that I did with Ol. I don't have the time. But it's great to see that by osmosis (and thanks to her daycare mum!) a lot of things are seeping in. She is doing a lot of big girl things lately. She is learning how to ride a bike. She has swimming lessons by herself now while I sit by the side and sip coffee. She wears big girl undies instead of nappies, but only if they've got Disney princesses on them, preferably Snow White, followed closely by Cinderella...
We used to be two, then we became three. Now we find ourselves with four. Hold onto your hats because this is going to be a wild ride.
