The End of an Era – Goodbye Under 5’s

As an early education consultant, today is a momentous day. Tomorrow is my youngest daughter’s 5th birthday and so, after 11 and a half years, this is the last day I will have children under 5.

A few years ago I looked forward to the day when my children would be growing up but today I am a little sad for all the things I will miss.

  1. Their chubby little faces and hands

2. Watching them play

3. Cute drawings

4. Messy faces

Finished!
Finished!

5. Thumb suckers

6. Kisses, cuddles and holding hands

7. Having a constant companion

8. Learning to sing

9. Sleeping babies

10. Everything about this

Luckily, I have almost a year before she goes to school, so lots of time left as a pre-schooler. Happy Birthday little one and as your t shirt says ‘Never Grow Up’
never grow up
