It’s seven years since I wrote a post about my twins starting infant school<\/a> and my eldest moving to the juniors. Today I’ve returned from the leavers’ assembly for those same twins. That’s it; primary school is over for us and all three will be at secondary school come September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

End of an era <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve completed my last school run, which feels very strange and rather sad. I actually enjoy the school run. In the morning it’s our chance to have a chat about anything and everything. As I work from home, I love the simple act of saying good morning to lots of people in person as opposed to on screen. In the afternoon it gives me a golden opportunity to talk to them both about their day. Also, how will I ever get my 10,000 steps in now!? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been a lot of goodbyes. The girls have said farewell to friends that are going to different schools. I’ve realised that there are so many people that I simply won’t see any more by virtue of the fact I won’t be doing the school run. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s goodbye to things like nativity plays, special assemblies and book looks. There’ll be no more invites to see their school year netball team play. I will miss all of these things. Then there’s no more Sports Days. Although, is it bad that I’m not devastated by this one 😬? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
