My baby starts next year too. He's in a class which is half full of his kinder classmates, which is fabulous. He has the same teacher as DS1 and is in the same room, so it's hopefully going to be easier for him to settle in. He has some fairly significant emotional issues though, so I'm not working in February to make sure he settles in. This is on the advice of his kinder teacher and psychologist.

We do half day on 4 Feb, then full days but Wednesdays off until after the Labour Day weekend, so about 5-6 weeks of 4 days.

He's desperate to go, which I'm very grateful for. And I'm going to spend my spare time at the gym, getting fit. I'm not going to be the fat Mummy at school any more.
