a new chapter

i cant believe its been over a week since my last blog.

the main big thing that has happened is the jorja is starting nursery today!

it is such a weird feeling. she is only two and yet she is so ready for it. i am a full time stay at home mum so i don't need her to go for work reasons. i just know that she is such a sociable girl that she will benefit from it.

i took her to see the nursery on Friday thinking that like all the others there would be a long waiting list and that i had done the right thing in registering her but wouldn't actually have to take her yet!

as we walked into the room she immediately had her coat off and was getting stuck right in and playing with all the children as if she had done it for years.

the lady who runs it was really lovely and welcoming and as we talked through what happens next, she said that they did have spaces and jorja could start Monday afternoon. arrgh!

jorja will only be going for one afternoon a week to start off with and then in a few weeks go for two afternoons if she is enjoying it.

im sure she will. i am so proud of her.

dont get me wrong i am excited by this new chapter but also apprehensive.

i love jorja very much and cant believe how quickly she is growing up. it only feels like yesterday that we found out i was pregnant with her!

with only a few weeks till our new addition arrives i am glad that jorja will be settled into the routine of nursery. i didnt want her to feel like her baby brother arrives and then she has to go to nursery.

so there you go, its monday morning and in a few hours i will be dropping her off for the first time.

she has stayed with different family and friends but this time it is different, they are complete strangers to us. i know that they will look after her but still, i am nervous!

i will let you know how we get on!

I heard about that day and heard that she got on really well!

How did she get on today? Did she like it?

Hope you are keeping well too :)

Arrwwww how did it go?!

Gotta remember those people are trained in childcare and they know a lot about two year olds! ;) hehe

I hope that she enjoyed it, she certainly looked as if she did on Friday on her visit.

Perfect timing before baby brother arrives too!
