Thoughts on starting school

Miss L:  I am going to school.  I am excited.  At nursery they say to me 'L is going to school'.  They will miss me at nursery.  I am going leave.  I think everyone will miss me at nursery.  I need blue for my painting mummy.  What happens if I add this and this and this?  If I mix it what will it change to?

Big gulp, eyes well up.  How did we get here so fast?  Very excited though, she is going to love school, and she'll be so ready for it.  Still, ten months to go.  Hope the conversations continue to be as chirpy as this big smily painted face.  It's an alien by the way.
