Delaying school for the four year old
By ella | November 1, 2007
It’s been a mixed week. Harry has been having nightmares and has been crying every morning saying that he doesn’t want to go to school but when I pick him up he says he’s had ‘a great day’ and is full of stories.
So things will stay as they are for now.
Matthew doesn’t want William, who’s four and a half, to start at this school next term. He thinks his speech is too bad and he will struggle generally with school life. I agree, but the school run, which currently involves three trips, criss-crossing the county every day totalling nearly three hours in the car daily is a nightmare for me and will be pretty awful with a newborn in tow, because they always poop right up the back of their sleepsuit at some point in every journey, or so it seems, and dealing with that three times a day? well, not my idea of fun. Also, we have two sitting for lunch (because the toddler needs to nap while we have lunch) and two sittings for supper (because Matthew is never home in time to eat as a family) so you can see why I have no time to update this site. I’m immersed in domesticity. And I don’t like it. Having William at school would take a bit of the burden off.
Don’t ask me to make a decision about it all though: I’m a Libran. I could be here all year deciding.

They do always poop, don’t they?
