Debs has just emailed me a copy of Millie's first ever school report, which is all excellent. Of course.
What amazes me even more is that it is FIVE pages long!! I can't be the only one who remembers school reports on one sheet of paper, with a sentence from each subject teacher - and that was in Senior School.
Millie has discovered the joy of writing, sand Sunday's subject was their mini holiday, an overnight stay at Chesintn. Where they will ride on. Jungl bus, Toom Blarster, Se dragn, Gruflo rid and Vamp Rid. In the zoo will be muncees, hechogs,, eemus, fmingos and torts. Goien on holiday!
Sorry - should have reduced the size of the photo! The car is not new - it belonged to my next-door neighbour Doreen, who literally is a little old lady who rarely drove it. When she told me she was getting rid of it as at 81 she's decided the bus is a better choice, I asked if Dylan could look at it. It's 15 years old, a Ford Ka with very low mileage, and she let him have it for £400. He is thrilled - picked it up yesterday, his dad drove it home, and Dylan spent all day polishing it to a shine! Now all he has to do is pass his test
That's sad in a way, though unavoidable in many cases. Mind you, the youngest of my four was very clingy, so perhaps it's simply the nature of the individual child.
Millie had a sore throat on Christmas Day, was definitely off-colour and droopy, so Debs sent off for a Covid test just in case. I phoned them this morning. Millie so full of beans I could hear her bouncing off the walls. "Nanny - I had a Covid test yesterday and it was HORRIBLE!" So I don't think we need to worry
Isn't it just! And I am managing not to comment on her spelling - they let them write phonetically at school. I am just hoping they learn to spell properly soon
How wonderful! I am sure you keep all these little notes. Somewhere, somewhere, are the little letters I wrote when I was a tiddler. I used to write them all the time and my mum would keep them in her box of 'treasures'.

Belated congratulations, Betsie.
It was posted in 2018. That was the last time I popped in this thread. Only popped in today because it was a top of the list.
See you again in 2022 *waves*

My younger daughter wrote them, too, but I don't think my elder daughter did.
Santatising. 😁

"I didn't need a poo after all - sometimes my bottom can't make a decision."
I just love her way with words!
