It’s Maisie’s last day of playschool and she has an eye test but I’m hoping her daddy can make it back in time to enjoy what remains of an amazing two years with teacher Maria and teacher Edel. From the moment I met Maria she told me she would love to have Maisie in her class. She is Spanish and has a calm and wonderful way with children. Edel was Maisie’s AIM worker and they formed a bond immediately, with Maisie running to her for hugs every morning. I feel sad that her time has ended at Eden, it has gone all too quickly. I know they will miss her but Maisie has left an impression with her playfulness and independent personality that she will always be remembered there. Now she is surely ready for big school and all that awaits her there.

Post Christmas can usually feel a little glum but we had Maisie’s birthday to celebrate at the beginning of January. Sproutings of snowdrops and daffodils gave me joy throughout some of those dreary days and then we were lucky to go on a sun holiday in February. Today is March 1st and the sun is out. I hear more birds singing in the garden which is abundant with swaying daffodils and narcissi. Maisie is loving playschool and she’s busy at home too, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of two older siblings making for a busy, noisy, sometimes stressful but generally fun and loving home.
