We have already lost one hat. I say we because I think it was me. It got lost on Tuesday the only day I do pick up - we played in the playground, went to library and then to art class but I don't have a clue where we last had it. Have also got first school party invite which caused some confusion as arrived in post and didn't have child's surname, and DD said could have been from school or from childcare as knew two of that name - so had to work out who it was from.

She is still eating very little at school - plenty at home but I would prefer a more even spread over the day. She has seen some kids do lunch orders - so I said once I can be confident she will eat them (not paying to have it not eaten) she can have one every now and again - but still hasn't seemed to improve her eating.

My mum is here helping out now as DH is away and she thinks DD has really grown up since they last saw her (was only Christmas) - is harder I think to see when you are with them all the time - I expect DH will notice when he is back.

I got my working with children check through, now just have to attend the 'education' sessions before can go in and help. Do schools normally let you take siblings if going in or not? I think would be better not to take DS but on the one day I don't work he is with me, and would prefer not to have to take time off work if possible.

After all my moaning about lack of info from the school - since actually starting they have been pretty good I think.
