Nursery

Your mum and I are now both back at work full time. You're at nursery three days a week and your granny is looking after you for two.

You're really enjoying nursery! Singing songs, making pictures, making messes, hanging out with the other kids (Zachary, Aisha, Lara, Emily, and the other ones whose names escape me) and the carers (Shaista, Cecilia, Osha, Debbie...).

You're learning fast now. Soon you'll be walking and talking (and then, I guess, you'll suddenly be sixteen and we'll wonder where all the time went).

The funny thing is that you don't seem to miss us at all while you're at nursery, until the moment we come to pick you up and you remember that we haven't been around all day - then you burst into tears that only hugs can soothe! Awww...
